The Rosso della Centa is a 100% Merlot that comes from a small vineyard on the south-western slopes of the hills of San Giorgio in Brazzano. Red grapes are grown on this one-hectare plot of land, most of them Merlot. The soil of this marvellous field is typical of the Collio, as it was formed by the fragmentation of the alternating layers of marl and sandstone that form the foundation of the hills. The slopes are very steep, which is why the field was terraced and stabilised with dry stone walls.

The wine captivates from the very first swirl of the glass with its distinctly floral bouquet, in which violets and roses combine with menthol and wild blueberries. On the palate, it impresses with its cool personality and a pure blend of mineral blackberries, accompanied by sage and exotic spices. Nuances of dark chocolate, cloves and black liquorice linger on the long and lightly structured final, which is framed by sweet tannins and cedar wood. Rosso della Centa is breathtaking, but it still needs a few years to show its very best side. SUPERIORE.DE
