Italy | Südtirol / Trentino-Alto Adige | RiservaANTICUS Merlot Cabernet Riserva 2018

The vineyards are situated in the area surrounding Magrè, at the foot of a gentle slope, at an altitude of between 220 and 350 metres with a southern/south-eastern exposure. The white chalky gravel soils contain well-ventilated humus. The Mediterranean climate is characterised by hot summers and mild winters, as well as the Ora, a warm afternoon wind that comes from Lake Garda to the south.

The grapes for the ANTICUS cuvée are harvested by hand. After being carefully destemmed, the must is fermented in stainless steel tanks with gentle pumping over. The wine is then aged in barriques for 18 months and in the bottle for a further year.
