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.

Venetian DOC around the city of Vicenza (between Verona and Padua), varied soils (volcanic on the Berici hills) and pre-Alpine temperate climate. Merlot is the signature red: supple and fruity with plum, black cherry, herbs and a spiced note, melted and accessible tannins. Cabernet, fine Pinot Nero and tannic Raboso as further reds. Garganega is the signature white: dry and floral with citrus, almond, white flowers and a mineral note.
