2020 Antonio DOC Rosso Montello
The local soul of the Recantina blends with the cosmopolitan one of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. A wine that warms the heart and the palate, and brings to mind the autumn colors that transform Montello into a breathtaking picture.
Wine suitable for red meats but also perfect with braised veal and lamb. Also excellent with medium-aged cheeses.
Suggested serving temperature: 18-20° C
Production area: Produced with the best Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Recantina grapes from our Aria Valentina estate.
Soil: Typical of Montello, clayey and rich in iron.
Vineyards: The training system used is Guyot with a density of approximately 5000 plants per hectare.
Technology adopted:
Red vinification for 15 days. The grapes are harvested in separate periods from the last ten days of September (Merlot) to the first ten days of October (Cabernet and Recantina) and vinified separately in steel with contact between the skin and must-wine for approximately 15 days. This is then followed by malolactic fermentation and aging in wood. This takes place in 3rd and 4th passage barriques (previously used for the refinement of Umberto I) for a period of 12-14 months. Finally, we proceed to bottling and a brief refinement in the bottle before being placed on the market.
