Merlot Raboso - Cielo e Terra

The Merlot Raboso from the Veneto wine-growing region has a brilliant shimmering purple-red color in the glass. The first nose of the Merlot Raboso reveals plums, blackcurrants and morello cherries. The fruity parts of the bouquet are joined by even more fruity, balsamic nuances.

This wine impresses with its elegantly dry taste. It was bottled with just 8 grams of residual sugar. This is by no means a matter of course for a wine in the entry-level range, so this Italian naturally delights with the finest balance despite its dryness. Aroma does not necessarily require a lot of residual sugar. On the palate, this light-footed red wine is characterized by an incredibly dense texture. The Merlot Raboso is impressively fresh and lively on the palate thanks to its present fruit acidity. On the finish, this red wine from the Veneto wine-growing region finally delights with good length. Once again, there are hints of morello cherry and blackcurrant.
