Eugenio Collavini - Merlot "Poncanera" DOC 2019
Red Wine from Friuli, Italy
The grapes, after careful selection and picking by hand, ferment on the skins for over two weeks in temperature-controlled, automated vinification tanks. Maturation, from the spring following the harvest onwards, is completed in pre-used oak casks, a process that adds structure and body to the wine.
Profile:
Here too a ruby red color is striking which differs in slightly garnet nuances
The nose is vinous, sometimes herbaceous, with hints of raspberry and wild blackberry
Dry, complex and soft, the well-controlled tannins and the decisive aromatic persistence are appreciated on the sip
Food Pairing: Best with roasted, fried and stewed white meats, especially rabbit, poultry, veal and pork. It goes perfectly with a typical Friulian dish: loin of rabbit with aromatic herbs
What’s In It: 100% Merlot
How It Was Made:
Hand-picked fruit is destemmed and fermented on the skins
for more than two weeks in temperature-controlled automatic
fermentation tanks.
Maturation in seasoned oak casks begins the following spring.
