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.

Italian Switzerland, stronghold of Helvetic Merlot (~80% of plantings). Fleshy, refined reds with signature notes of ripe plum, black cherry, dark chocolate, leather and spices, round tannins and a velvety palate — often compared to the best Pomerol. Some cuvées vinified as Bianco di Merlot: original, ample whites (peach, citrus). Also native Bondola and Bordeaux blends.
