About this wine

Grapes

A Merlot-based red wine. An exact percentage or full blend composition is not given in the accessible wine-page text.

Tasting profile

Intense, deep ruby-garnet. The rich, concentrated and complex aromatic profile is warm and fruit-driven, with ripe red fruit and preserves—plum, cherry and blueberry—alongside cocoa and a light herbal nuance.

Label / history

The wine grew from a project begun in 1997 by Nadia Zenato and her mother, Carla: the pursuit of a major red wine in a territory now known for whites. Its development is presented as an ongoing annual process of refinement, driven by passion, determination and a desire for continual improvement.
