Ireneo Cabernet Sauvignon Colli Euganei - Conte Emo Capodilista - La Montecchia

With the La Montecchia Ireneo Cabernet Sauvignon Colli Euganei, a first-class red wine finds its way into the glass. It offers a wonderfully dense, purple-red color. On the nose, this La Montecchia red wine reveals all kinds of currant, plum, sour cherry and blueberry. As if that weren’t impressive enough, maturation in small wooden barrels adds cinnamon and cloves.

This wine tastes pleasantly dry. It was bottled with exceptionally little residual sugar. As you would expect from a wine, this Italian, despite all its dryness, delights with the finest balance. Aroma simply does not necessarily require a lot of sugar. On the palate, this powerful red wine is characterized by an immensely meaty, dense and velvety texture. The finish of this red wine from the Veneto wine-growing region ultimately impresses with a lovely aftertaste. The aftertaste is also accompanied by mineral nuances from the volcanic rock-dominated soils.

Vinification of the Ireneo Cabernet Sauvignon Colli Euganei from La Montecchia

The starting point for the first-class and wonderfully powerful Ireneo Cabernet Sauvignon Colli Euganei cuvée from La Montecchia are Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère and Merlot grapes. In Veneto, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on volcanic rock soils. After the grape harvest, the grapes are quickly brought to the press house. There they are sorted and gently crushed. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks and small wooden barrels at controlled temperatures. After fermentation, the wine is aged for several months on the fine lees before it is finally bottled.
