Merlot
"Anni '50"
Characteristics
This line of wines evokes the glamour and timeless elegance of an iconic era. Each bottle is a tribute to the vintage charm and sophistication of the 1950s: carefully selected and expertly crafted, these wines capture the joyous spirit and craftmanship of the era and celebrate the art of good living and conviviality.
The Merlot is a wine to be enjoyed while it is young and fresh, ideally at about 7°C. A wine with a lovely, vibrant, ruby red colour, it has a characteristic, fragrant and heady nose that offers notes of fresh fruit and ripe strawberries, ending with scents of cherries.
In the mouth, it is plasant, velvety and sweet but not cloying.

Vinification
Mechanical harvest at optimum technological and phenolic ripeness, crushing-destemming, addition of cultured yeasts. Maceration for 6-7 days followed by drawing off the lees.
Pumpover repeated 3 or 4 times a day. Primary fermentation is followed by racking, light clarification to stabilise the proteins and subsequent filtration. Bottling is carried out several times a year in order to ensure that the product is always fresh: the wine is cold stabilised to avoid the precipitation of tartaric acid and bottled in sterile conditions following aseptic filtration.
