RedMont 2017 DOC Collio, Ferruccio Sgubin

100% Merlot from one of the best Italian wine regions - Collio, Friuli    Planting year • 1967 - 2000 The grapes are collected on the basis of sensory analysis in the pre-harvest period: maximum maturation of skins and tannins is sought. This wine ferments at a controlled temperature of 26 °C. It remains on its skins for a period of 20 days during which the color and structure of the wine is extracted. It is refined in small oak barrels with 500 l capacity where the malolactic fermentation takes place for a period of 14-16 months. It is bottled without filtering to preserve its maximum integrity. It is then refined in the bottle for at least 4 months. Amazing bouquet of blackberries and ripe black fruits, violets, and black truffles, with hints of graphite and spice. Well balanced on the palate, remarkable soft power and finesse, fantastic structure and velvety round tannins and a long, complex finish. It’s so wonderful that you want to drink it when you taste it. Collio DOC area is lo
