Merlot Grion 2022 Balan

Merlot Grion

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.
