Melodia
Rosso del Ticino DOC
2021
The combination of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes gives rise to this Ticinese interpretation of a classic Bordeaux blend. The result is a harmonious, structured red wine that marries the strength of the Sopraceneri with the elegance of the Sottoceneri.

How it looks
Intense garnet red, ruby highlights.
Aroma
When still, the glass gives us notes of tobacco, hibiscus, dehydrated plum, slight vegetal and balsamic. Swirling the glass reveals pleasant hints of dehydrated red berries, undergrowth and light toastiness donated by ageing in barriques.
Taste
Excellent balance between soft components, hardness and tannin. Pleasant spicy finish and persistence.
Perfect match with
Semi-hard and semi-mature cheeses from Alpe Ticinese. Corn burritos with meat, beans and vegetables. Rich and intense soups, also slightly spicy. Loto Terreni alla Maggia risotto with sbrinz and black truffle. Meat stews.
Vinification
Manual grape harvest in the second half of September. Separate maceration and fermentation for the various grape varieties in stainless steel tanks.
Aging
2 years in new and second-passage barriques
Vintage
Mild winter and cool spring. Hot summer but with a good temperature range between day and night.
Storage
