About this wine

Vinification

Merlot is harvested by hand in September, followed by Sangiovese in October. The grapes are gently pressed and fermented in stainless-steel tanks at 28 °C. Pump-overs cool the must before délestage is introduced. Maceration lasts 20 days.

Ageing

The wine matures for six months in oak barrels, followed by six months in bottle.

Tasting profile

The nose is pleasant, and the palate is elegant.

Label / history

Camerte takes its name from the Camertina Valley, an area historically known for wine production.
