Description and technical sheet

The Merlot di Marina Cvetic is produced from grapes of the PLACEHOLDER_WINEVARIETY variety in purity. The original vineyard is located on a plateau characterized by medium-textured limestone soils, with a high gravel content, at an altitude of about 550 meters above sea level. The territory is that of Ofena, in the province of L'Aquila, known as "the oven of Abruzzo" due to the high summer temperatures: the presence of the Gran Sasso mountain effectively blocks the mitigating force of sea breezes. During red winemaking, alcoholic fermentation lasted 15-20 days with the must macerating on the skins for 20-30 days. Aging took place for 12 months in barrels - 50% new oak and 50% second passage - and for an additional 24 months in the bottle.

MERLOT MARINA CVETIC: TASTING

The PLACEHOLDER_WINE has a ruby red color with bright reflections. On the nose, it releases aromas of wild red fruits, roses, and violets mingling with hints of leather, licorice, and dark spices. The palate is soft and enveloping, enhanced by velvety tannins and a long spicy finish. It pairs well with cheeses and flavorful earthy dishes based on red meats.
