Merlò – Marche Merlot IGT

Il Merlot è uno dei vitigni internazionali più conosciuti, capace di interpretare come pochi il territorio in cui si trova. Da noi sta dando i suoi generosi frutti già da qualche anno lungo il pendio della collina che si rivolge ad ovest, su cui batte la luce del sole fin dall’alba. Vitigno nodoso, forte, robusto e pieno di vitalità, ci dona grappoli grandi e sani con cui produciamo questo vino in purezza che invecchia per 24 mesi in legno. Dal colore rosso vivo, dotato di freschezza e molta morbidezza, stimola la piacevole bevuta. Da servire a 18 gradi, si abbina con molta facilità ad un gran numero di piatti fra cui cannelloni al forno, carne ai ferri, risotto ai funghi, coniglio ai carciofi, fegato.

The Merlot grapes are hand-picked in the first decade of September, when the weather is usually still hot. The wine is fermented with grape skins and frequent pumpovers in steel tanks. The fermentation is normally quicker compared to the one of other varieties, and takes approximately 7-10 days. When winter ends, the wine is transferred into French oak barrels for at least 12 months. After bottling, it is aged in the wine cellar for about 4 years.
Merlot is one of the most popular international grape varieties, and it is also one of the few wines able to fully understand and represent the terroir where it grows. It has been providing us with great fruit for several years, along the hillside that faces East, where the sun rises. Knotty, strong, solid and lively wine, it produces big and good bunches that we use to craft this single varietal wine. Ruby, cool and soft, drinking our Merlot is pleasant and enjoyable. The ideal serving temperature is 18°C. The wine is suitable for a great number of dishes, such as baked cannelloni, grilled meat, risotto with mushrooms, roast rabbit and artichokes and liver.
