Maeli - Rosso Infinito Colli Euganei 2019
Maeli Description
Varietal Composition: 41% Carmenere, 33% Merlot, 26% Cabernet Sauvignon
Intense ruby red color with still purple reflections. On the nose, stand-out the aromas of red fruit such as cherry, strawberry, raspberry, and blackberry, vegetable hints of pepper, and a hint of sweet spices such as nutmeg, a hint of cinnamon, and black pepper. The entrance to the soft and generous palate immediately reveals the aromatic power of the grapes from which it derives. Good balance between freshness and softness, elegant and silky tannins, and alcohol well integrated into the important structure of the wine. Mineral hints persist on the finish, and aromas of fruit and spices return pleasantly in an olfactory way on a tense and vibrant finish.
Maeli is nestled in the Euganean Hills, a group of volcanic rolling, cone-shaped slopes that rise above the Padovan-Venetian plane. The variety of the land, the steepness of the hills, the varying exposition of the vineyards, and the peculiarities of the micro-climate motivate, winemaker, Elisa Dilavanzo, to continue to explore and research every aspect of winemaking in this unique land and ancient varietal.
Wine Enthusiast: 93 Points
A blend of 41% Carménère, 33% Merlot and 26% Cabernet Sauvignon, this Bordeaux-inspired wine shines with aromas of blackberry compote, cassis, tobacco, violets and baking spices. The Italianate palate lifts the rich, darkly hued fruit-centric palate with vibrant acidity and savory finishes that show what heights these grapes can achieve in Italy.
