Description
Italy: Friuli & Eastern Veneto
Mellow & Rounded Red
Medium-Full Body - Oaked
Vegan - ABV 14.0% - 75.0cl
In a Nutshell:
A rich, juicy and quite velvety blend of Merlot and Corvina from the Veneto region of Northeast Italy.
The Lowdown:
This beguiling red wine is made in the traditional 'apassimento' style, with the grapes being allowed to hang on the vine and harvested late, during the first weeks of October. The berries partially dry, which concentrates the juice, sugars and flavours in the grape, adding to the finished wine's complexity. Following fermentation the wine spends 3-4 months ageing in oak barrels. The resulting wine is vibrant purple in colour, velvety in texture with flavours of ripe bitter-sweet black morello cherry, accompanied by notes of vanilla, Christmas spice and toasty mocha. It's gloriously silky and smooth at the lengthy finish.
The Producer:
Family-run since 1928, Botter has grown into one of Italy's most established wine producers. From their base in Veneto they work closely with partner vineyards and wineries the length of the country, from the northern hills to the far south. It's those relationships that underpin their scale, giving them access to a broad range of grapes and styles while keeping quality firmly in view. The result is a portfolio that showcases Italian quality in all its breadth and variety.
When to Drink:
With a really easy appeal this is great for roasted or grilled meats and with game is superb.
