Merlino Trentino DOC Lagrein Fortified Red 2016 500ml

The Merlino Trentino DOC Lagrein Rosso Fortificato 2016 from Pojer e Sandri is a truly unique wine that will surprise you.

Raw material: This product is made from partially fermented must of Lagrein grapes, added with brandy from the company (called Divino), which in turn is obtained from two local grape varieties: schiava and lagarino.
It is the first wine of this kind produced in Italy.
Bottling: after 8/10 months, once clarification is achieved, it is bottled.
Training system: “open Trentino pergola” with 6500 vines per hectare.
Production notes: the Lagrein grapes are harvested very ripe (potential alcohol 13.5°), then placed in a refrigeration cell for 1-2 nights to lower the temperature. After destemming, the grapes (not crushed) arrive by gravity into the tank (no pumps), where they undergo cold maceration for 5/6 days to increase aromatic extraction. This is followed by fermentation, which is interrupted at 4 – 5° alcohol by adding a brandy aged for more than 10 years. It is important in this phase to blend the distillate so that there is no burning or scorching of the wine.
The temperature of the distillate is brought to -10/15 degrees and the addition is made during pumping over, raising the alcohol content near 20°; in this way the situation is “frozen” as it is, the yeasts and bacteria are stopped, the sugar present remains unfermentable (100/120 grams per liter), and the fruity aromatic charge remains intact. After a few days, the product is placed in barrels where the brandy of the cellar called “Divino” was previously stored.

Alcohol content: 19%
