Method of
Production
A part of the grapes is dried on the vine before the
harvest begins, whereas another part is picked at
maturation and dried under controlled conditions of
temperature and humidity.
The vinification takes place with the “technological
tank” system where the grape skins and wine are
continuously mixed by carbon dioxide force in order to
extract color and tannins. The resulting wine is aged
partly in stainless steel and partly in big wooden casks
for 12 months.
Tasting Notes Castelforte Merlot shows intense scents of red fruits
like blueberry and cherry, hints of chocolate and jam
and pleasant spicy notes of clove and vanilla. The soft
tannins of this wine are a perfect match for pasta with
rich sauces, grilled red meats and mature cheeses.
