The Wine
Carmenere has a unique story to tell (see slide “THE GRAPES OF OUR TERRITORY: Carmenere”): a new wine with a great personality; a Veneto wine to present to customers as an alternative to Valpolicella.
Inama is the first estate to create an important project with the Carmenere in the Colli Berici area and to give an identity to this variety with a new DOC: Colli Berici Carmenere Riserva (see: Oratorio di San Lorenzo).
This product, at the moment, has no competitors in Europe.
Philosophy: all the vineyards are set up to produce reserve wines. Each season, we decide which plot will be used for the reserve wines or for the entry-level wines.
Characteristics
12 months in used barriques.
