Il Maserino Rosso 2016 DOCG

Elegant, fruity, and intense, Il Maserino Rosso is a special selection of the finest Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc batches from the winery.

Presented by Eddy Furlan

This wine pairs perfectly with traditional autumn dishes from the foothills: guinea fowl with peverada sauce, mixed meat skewers, or oven-roasted pork with chiodini mushrooms from Montello.
It has a deep ruby red color with garnet reflections and an elegant texture, leaving pronounced legs and arches on the sides of the glass.
On the nose, it is intense and fruity, with clear notes of black cherry and wild strawberry, followed by floral (cyclamen), spicy, and lightly toasted aromas (pepper, cinnamon, incense).
On the palate, it opens dry with a clear freshness, soon followed by pleasant savoriness and well-balanced soft tannins. It finishes warm, with a rounded, smooth mouthfeel, ending on a dry note with a fruity and spicy background and a pleasantly bitter touch.
