'Crosara' Veneto IGT Merlot Maculan 2017 MAGNUM in Box di Legno

The Veneto IGT Merlot Crosara red wine from the Maculan winery is one of the Crus of the Maculan company and is obtained exclusively using fine Merlot grapes (an allochthonous vine of French origin). The vineyards are located on the hills around the Venetian municipalities of Ferrata and Santo Stefano and enjoy a perfect combination of mild microclimate and soils rich in mineral salts. The activity of this company for several years has been aimed at the production of quality wines, thanks to a perfect balance between craftsmanship and technological innovation. The production of Veneto IGT Merlot Crosara wine begins with the harvest, meticulously carried out by hand and selecting only the best bunches. These are sent for fermentation in steel vats at a controlled temperature with maceration on the skins. Maturation takes place in French oak barriques for about 12 months, before refining directly in the bottle. The result is a wine of exceptional quality, full-bodied and robust, with an excellent structure, it has a concentrated and deep purple-red colour. The nose opens with intense aromas of small black fruits and ripe red fruit, enriched by pleasant spicy notes. On the palate it is fruity and structured, with sweet and elegant tannins.
