Caldierosso 2018

Fruity, ripe tannins, strong structure; ruby red with aromas of violets and red flowers

Teran 50%, Merlot 17%, Nebbiolo 16%, Tempranillo 17%

13% ABV; 75cl

In this Cuvee, Teran and Nebbiolo give freshness and a lot of tannins, from Tempranillo comes a rich extract, dark color and density, and Merlot with its softness perfectly combines everything. The result is a wine with a pronounced fruitiness, ripe tannins, strong structure, and at the same time very drinkable and soft in the mouth. The wine is a ruby red with reddish edges. The purple label is associated with its initial fragrant aromas of violets and red flowers, which grow into a lavish scent of hyacinth and chestnut honey. The aromas of ripe raspberries and ripe dark fruit spill into the mouth, spicy aromas, especially oregano, appear over time, and despite the strong structure and pronounced tannins. Extremely drinkable, dry, balanced, harmoniously. The developmental stage of this wine is young with a tendency to grow. Ideal for pairing with dishes with venison and roast lamb.

Caldierosso’s first edition has already won a gold medal at the 2018 Vinistra and a silver medal in Decanter 2017, therefore it has already shown it is truly an exceptional wine.
