Descrizione

Merlot Riserva Alto Adige DOC Brenntal - Cortaccia is an elegant red wine that best expresses the characteristics of the Merlot grape grown in the heart of Alto Adige, a region renowned for the quality of its soils and ideal climate. The grapes are carefully selected and vinified according to traditional methods, with aging in oak barrels that gives complexity and structure to the final product.

In the glass, it presents an intense ruby red color, accompanied by enveloping aromas of ripe red fruits, notes of aromatic herbs, and light spicy nuances typical of the aging process. On the palate, it is soft and full-bodied, balanced by a pleasant freshness and silky tannins that guarantee a long finish.

Perfect with roasted meats, game, or aged cheeses, this Merlot Riserva is a refined testimony to the Brenntal territory, capable of satisfying both enthusiasts and newcomers.
