More informations about the variety Carmenère

Velvety, deep reds with a dark robe and round tannins, showing aromas of blackberry, plum, ripe red pepper, dark chocolate, coffee and gentle spice. Warm, supple finish. Absolute star of Chile (Colchagua, Cachapoal, Maipo) where it was rediscovered in 1994, long confused with Merlot. A historic Bordeaux variety that nearly vanished after phylloxera, a cross of Cabernet Franc × Gros Cabernet.

More informations about the region of Lombardia

Lombard IGP on the glacial-moraine hills south of Lake Garda (Mantua), with a balanced climate between the warm Po plain and the alpine freshness of the lake. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Rondinella lead in reds — fruity and supple with cherry, plum, red berries, herbs and a hint of gentle spices, rounded tannins and a direct, approachable style. Chardonnay, Garganega, Pinot Bianco and Pinot Grigio in fresh whites.
