Description
Still red wine from Alto Adige DOC, 14.5% ABV, produced by Dipoli Peter. Blend: 70% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, a blend that best expresses the terroir of this region. 0.75-liter bottle, 2018 vintage. Iugum, which means “yoke” in Latin, is a wine that tells the story of a family and a terroir. The grapes are vinified separately and, after destemming, ferment in open wooden vats for approximately ten days. Both varieties undergo malolactic fermentation in barriques, after which the Cabernet Sauvignon ages for 12 months in new barriques, while the Merlot ages in second- and third-use barriques. Twelve months after harvest, the wines are blended. After eight months of aging in cement, the wine is bottled. After a further 36 months of aging in bottle, the wine is released for sale, four years after harvest. On the nose, it offers aromas of ripe berries, enriched with spicy hints of juniper and hints of aromatic herbs. It has a deep and intense ruby red color. The palate is warm, with energetic tannins, full-bodied, and fruity. It has a long finish and a pleasantly almondy finish.
