Piera1899 is a solid name and one of the reference wineries in the North-East of Italy; always devoted to a single goal: to obtain the best possible quality in wines characterized by pleasantness and matching, able to compete with the greatest winemaking traditions in the world.
The harvest of this Merlot begins at the end of September, the grapes are harvested at the best degree of phenolic ripeness; a selected part is left to dry for 60 days in a conditioned environment, the remainder is destemmed, crushed and left to ferment and macerate in steel vats for 15 days with daily punching down to favor the passage of color and noble tannin. This is followed by racking and subsequent malolactic fermentation. In January the wine is combined with that obtained from the withering process and left to mature until spring.
In the glass it shows a Intense ruby red color with purplish veins. On the nose it releases a aroma of ripe red fruit. In the mouth it is dense, rich in volume and softness thanks to its part of the drying process and the full maturity of the bunch; the finish is long and characterized by notes of plum and cherry jam.
A wine that tells the quintessence of a territory imbued with knowledge, beauty and traditions; a quality drink especially in combination with first courses with meat sauce, boiled meats, grilled meats and medium-aged cheeses.
