Vinification of the Sacchetto Merlot Veneto

This elegant red wine from Italy is made from the Merlot grape variety. After the grape harvest, the grapes are transported to the winery as quickly as possible. Here they are selected and carefully crushed. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by maturation on the fine lees for several months before the wine is finally drawn off. Ageing in the barrel is followed by considerable bottle ageing, which makes this red wine even more complex.
