Colorito Merlot and Cabernet Franc 2019

Art. # 2580

The Merlot for this wine comes from two vineyards in the village of Harsovo - 1.2 hectares with an age of about 30 years and in the village of Kromidovo - 48 hectares aged 4 years. The Cabernet Franc vineyard is located in the land of the village of Kromidovo and has an area of 11 hectares. The average age of the vines is nearly 30 years. They are cultivated by adhering to biodynamic practices in viticulture. The deeper root system of the old vines helps supply them with minerals and trace elements. This reflects on the structure of the resulting wine. The climate is warm, thanks to the air currents coming from the Aegean Sea, but in the evening, cooler currents descend from the surrounding mountains, contributing to greater diurnal amplitudes. The soils are sandy with a high percentage of limestone.

Merlot

Merlot

Southwest of France is Merlot’s birthplace - the regions of Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. Merlot is nowadays widely planted across the world much like Cabernet Sauvignon because it is an early maturing grape variety and because of its ability to ripen fully even in slightly cooler climates. Smooth, velvety, soft and rounded - an “easy drinking" wine with tender tannic structure - these are the common descriptions of Merlot wines.
