Venezia DOC Merlot 2018 La Frassina

The Merlot is produced by the Venetian winery La Frassina, a family business located in the municipality of Caorle (VE), on the border of the Zignago Valley. The soils on which the vines grow are alluvial, calcareous and clayey and medium-textured. Since 2000, a restructuring of both the vineyard and the cellar has been undertaken.

The grape harvest takes place within the first 10 days of September. The grapes are vinified in steel tanks, with maceration for about 7 days at a temperature of 24-26 ° C, and then ripen in steel tanks for 9 months.

In the glass the wine is of an intense ruby red color with violet reflections. On the nose there are hints of ripe red fruit, cherry and currant. The taste is dry and full-bodied, with a good persistence.

It can be paired with pasta with meat sauce or a grilled cutlet.
