Carantan Collio Rosso DOC - Marco Felluga

The Marco Felluga Carantan Collio Rosso is a first-class red wine in a glass. It has a wonderfully bright, purple-red color. At the edges, this Italian red also shows a transition to garnet red. After the first swirl, you can perceive a first-class balance in this red wine, as it is neither watery nor syrupy or liqueur-like on the walls of the glass. This Marco Felluga red wine presents the nose with all kinds of black cherries, mulberries, plums, morello cherries and blackberries.

The Marco Felluga Carantan Collio Rosso impresses with its elegantly dry taste. It was bottled with exceptionally low residual sugar. This is a genuine quality wine that clearly stands out from simpler qualities and so, despite its dryness, this Italian naturally delights with the finest balance. Aroma does not necessarily need residual sugar. On the finish, this storable red wine from the Friuli-Venezia Giulia wine-growing region delights with its beautiful length. Once again, there are hints of mulberry and plum.

Vinification of the Marco Felluga Carantan Collio Rosso

The balanced Carantan Collio Rosso from Italy is a cuvée made from the Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grape varieties. After harvesting, the grapes are immediately taken to the press house. Here they are selected and carefully crushed. This is followed by fermentation in large oak barrels at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by maturation for 24 months in French oak barrels. The ageing in barrels is followed by extensive bottle ageing, which makes this red wine even more complex.
