Carmenere Più2023
Veneto Rosso I.G.T.
Let me introduce myself:
This is our introductory wine to Carmenere: it is the result of very careful observation and monitoring in our vineyards, with the aim of harvesting the grapes at the exact moment when they express their maximum fruitiness and aromas.
Grapes
Variety and Vine training system: Carmenere and Merlot – Guyot training
Altitude and Exposure: between 50 and 150 mt above sea level – South
Soil: Iron-rich clay over marine limestone
Winemaking style
The grapes are picked by hand and are then delicately destemmed. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled vats, lasting around 20-25 days. The wine matures 25% in barriques that have been used three or four times before and 75% in stainless steel for 12 months. These components are then blended together and, after 4 months in stainless steel, our “Carmenere Più” is bottled.
Tasting notes
A very bright red color, with blueish/purple highlights. A floral, enticing nose of small dark berries, cacao, and white pepper. A harmonious fresh palate: excellent length.
Label
This label was designed by Matteo Morelli, an artist based in Milano. The intention is to describe this wine, produced since 2005, at the beginning of Inama’s Carmenere project, as something young and lively, yet still classic and respectful of the style used for all the other labels. The idea was to design a cherub holding a cornucopia of fruit, from which a bunch of red grapes – our Carmenere – emerges.
