A classic Bordeaux blend. The Merlot and Cabernet vines found in the warm regions around the Caldaro similar climatic conditions as in Bordeaux, its native provenance. The average temperature and the number of hours of sunshine during the vegetation period are absolutely comparable.

The winter months of 2022 were markedly poor in precipitation. Only April brought significant rain and replenished the groundwater somewhat. May was one of the warmest on record and gave a strong boost to vegetation. The entire summer was marked by drought and was reminiscent of the summers of 2003 and 2015. The ripening of the grapes progressed rapidly and already on August 24 the first grapes were delivered to the winery. As the autumn also brought hardly any precipitation, the grape harvest went smoothly and excellent grapes were harvested. As early as mid-October, the grape harvest came to an end.

– intense red
– aromas of forest berries and wild cherries, spicey backbone and fresh vegetal notes on the nose
– juicy and full-bodied, with a powerfully elegant structure

This wine is ideal with red meats, game and piquant cheeses.

Fermentation on the skins at 27 °C, with an extended maceration of ten days, malolactic fermentation followed by a 8-month ageing in barrique, big wooden barrels and large casks.

South- and east-facing slopes situated at an altitude between 230 and 350 meters above sea level. Loamy, chalky gravel with a low proportion of sand.
