Monferrato Rosso DOC I Cascinali - Paolo Conterno

The vineyard, which is entirely planted with Merlot, is located near Penango in the province of Asti. The clay and limestone soils there and the warm southern exposure are ideal for the production of high-quality Merlot. Giorgio Conterno adjusts the timing of the harvest precisely so that the grapes do not become too ripe and the wine later becomes too broad and jammy. After ten to twelve months of aging in wood, Il Cascinale is bottled. Color: dark garnet red. Scent: dark fruits, balsamic notes, mineral. Taste: full-bodied, with a nice fruit concentration, long.
