RAMUS South Tyrolean Cabernet Merlot DOC

This Cabernet-Merlot is a classic red wine, very compact and intense in colour. It has great complexity with various nuances of forest fruits and black currants, as well as strong but soft tannins. It has a dry, robust flavour with a smoothly harmonious tannin structure, characteristic and lingering.

GRAPE
Cabernet Sauvignon 46%, Cabernet Franc 6% and Merlot 48%

WINE GROWING AREA
At the foot of the Renon plateau, we find steep, barren and rocky tiers with sandy, clay, porphyry soils. Thanks to the south-facing position of the slope, at an altitude of 450 metres, this area is specially suited to the typical and characteristic cultivation of these grape varieties.

HARVEST AND YIELD
The careful hand harvesting begins mid October, as the grapes reach full ripeness. This can generate a yield of 50 hectolitres of wine per hectare.

VINIFICATION
The grapes are delivered to the winery in crates of 220 kg. They are lightly crushed, destemmed and fermented at a temperature of 28°C. By gently pounding the skins down and carefully pumping the must around, contact with the skins is maintained for as long as possible to achieve good colour and flavour extraction. The wine is aged in French barrique barrels, followed in the bottle to mature fully.

RECCOMENDATION
This wine goes exceptionally well with hearty meat dishes, barbecued food and cheese.
