Wines of Lake Garda - Alto Mincio IGT Riserva Rosso Saline
Among the wines of Lake Garda this red wine is obtained from Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes scrupulously selected in a well-defined plot called Campo Saline (hence the name of the wine).
The low production of grapes and the particular care in the vinification give a full-bodied product rich in extracts, garnet in color, savory and round flavor and notes of wild berries.
The permanence of the wine for a year in wooden barrels is essential for its evolution and maturation.
