Venica & Venica Collio Merlot 2018
Tasting notes
Young, fruity and slightly herbaceous, with an harmonious bouquet ranging from berries, in particular blueberries and black currants, to violets, plums, cherries, tomato leaf, fennel and rhubarb. Some medicinal herbs such as mint and thyme can be perceived too and also a balsamic note that fades into pine. The clearly recognizable feature is an herbaceous background that permeates all the wine and blends wonderfully with the warmth of the fruit notes.
On the palate it is wide and deep, medium-bodied, juicy and dripping of blackberries and cherries. The tannins are light and velvety and the herbaceous and earthy flavors balance the fruit aromas for a soft and enveloping sip. The acidity is generally low.
After arriving to the cellar, the grapes have been macerated for 10 days; subsequently the wine has been aged in our cellar in wooden barrels of 25 and 7.5 HL for 13 months, during which the malolactic fermentation has taken place.
