CASE PAOLIN - Rosso del Milio- IGT Veneto Biologico

Production area: Merlot and Carmenère grapes originate fromthe Bordeaux area in France. The use of these grapes has spread rapidly in northern Italy, particularly in Veneto, where Merlot has become one of the most widely grown vine species, thanks to the good quality of the wine and the robust vine. Our winery cultivates the vines in the Montello hills, which boosts the low production of bunches per plant.

Grape variety: Merlot - Carmenère

Grape harvest: hand-picked into wooden boxes in the first 10 days of October. Wine-making technique: red-wine vinification with maceration of 12-15 days at an approximate temperature of 25°C / 77°F to favour the breakup of the colouring substances contained in the grape skins. The maceration allows for the production of a well structured and balanced product. It is then aged for another 12-18 months in large barrels (25 hl).

Colour: ruby red with purplish highlights.

Bouquet: clear notes of red fruits such as red cherries, black cherries, and raspberries accompanied by a bouquet of oriental spices (cinnamon). Vanilla and spicy aromas can be noticed in aged products.

Flavour: harmonic, persistent, full-bodied with a dry finish.

Serving suggestion: excellent with white or red meat dishes and with medium-aged cheese.

Serving temperature: 18-20°C / 64-68°F

Storage: store in a cool place away from light.

Alcoholic content: 13.5% vol
