Description
Terre del Colleoni Merlot 2018 Vite Natural Durante Tosca
Variety: Merlot 100%
Certified organic
Intense ruby red, impenetrable to light.
The nose has clean and intense aromas of berries, such as red currant, then of cherry and of the grape itself. The notes of undergrowth and Mediterranean scrub stretch towards the green of pepper and aromatic herbs. Spices also begin to make themselves felt for a respectable olfactory prospect
On the palate it shows creaminess and a beautiful structure to support it. Excellent minerality, for a wine that envelops the palate with naturalness and pleasure. Long finish with aromas of blueberry, blackberry and spices.
Excellent value for money, for a great little Lombard red wine 100% Merlot.
Terre del Colleoni Merlot 2018 Vite Natural Durante Tosca
The Tosca company cultivates the vineyard and vinifies the grapes produced following the dictates of organic agriculture. The vineyards are in Pontida, in the westernmost part of the Terre del Colleoni appellation, at an altitude of 450 meters above sea level.
In the Tosca vineyards the soils are different, because here the substratum is made up of limestone-clayey rock from the Cretaceous period and a particular type of Lombard Flysh, that of Pontida. The flysh is composed of sedimentary deposits formed in the marine environment.
Type of cultivation: spurred cordon, with a density of 5000 plants per hectare and a yield of 50 quintals.
Harvested by hand, the alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel containers.
Refine in the same containers for 6 months.
The Terre del Colleoni Doc denomination extends and embraces, from east to west, almost the entire hilly area of the province of Bergamo. From Predore on Lake Iseo to Cisano Bergamasco.
The Vite Natural Durante line is the Monovitigno line of the Tosca company. The added value lies in the adoption of the stelvin cap for the entire line, a closure system of which we at wineilvino are also convinced supporters. That’s why the name “Vine”.
