二つのクローンが描く、濃密なメルロー。

異なる2種のメルローのクローンをともに醸造した、ヴェネトのIGTです。セメントタンクで発酵させ、バリックで6か月熟成。うち3分の1は新樽、残りは2〜3回使用の樽を用い、その後3か月の瓶熟成を経ています。濃いルビーレッドに紫の輝きを帯びた色調から、カシスやラズベリー、チェリージャム、バニラ、ミントの濃厚な香り。力強く滑らかでリッチな味わいは、ローストした赤身肉やミートソースのパスタとよく合います。

Winemaking & technical data

Cultivation
The vineyards surrounding Baran's winery, in S. Ambrogio di Trebaseleghe, are located in an area traditionally known as "Glion".

The soil is clayey and contains a thick layer of Paleolithic deposits from the Pleistocene era (called "currant"), resulting in a very dense clay soil.

This type of soil is especially prevalent in the Venetian lakeside area and
It is commonly found in the deposits of the alluvial plains of the Veneto-Friuli region.

Yields are kept low, less than 2kg per vine, due to the characteristics of the vines and a deliberate production policy that focuses on quality.

Vinification
A blend of two different clones of Merlot, fermented in cement tanks.
The wine is aged in barriques for six months, one third of which are new and the rest are barrels that have been used two or three times. After bottling, the wine is aged in the bottle for a further three months.

About the producer

Balan

[Veneto: A clean taste born from tradition and innovation]

Balan Estate was founded in 1962 by a young Sergio Balan, and winemaking began when Sergio, the father of the current owner, started in his garage.

The headquarters was built in 1966 in Trebasereghae, not far from Venice, and has since been expanded to cover 3,600 m2 of land surrounded by 5 hectares of vineyards.

This achievement was achieved not only by Sergio, but also with the help of his wife Attilia, and later by the efforts of his sons Fabio and Daniele, who now run the company themselves.

At the end of the 1980s, Balan began distributing first-class wines and spirits, maintaining its traditional winemaking methods while constantly improving both the quantity and quality.

Four generations of hard work, a constant drive for innovation, synergies between production and distribution, relationships with great producers and, above all, an unending passion for wine, have made Baran one of the major players in the Italian wine market.

Since its founding, the historic vineyards have been in Sant'Ambrogio, to which have been added those of Caneva (Grave del Friuli), Combai and Campea (in the heart of the Valdobbiadene DOCG area).

We support the conservation of landscapes and nature through activities aimed at protecting biodiversity and the uniqueness of the land.
