Beppe Morchetta, Rosso, Veneto, Italy, 2023

Producer Profile

Beppe Morchetta encapsulates Italian style and good taste with a trio of wines from selected vineyards in the Veneto region of north-eastern Italy.

Unmistakably Italian in presentation and character. The latest addition to the range, a bright, fresh and fully sparkling ‘Spumante’ combines Garganega and Trebbiano in a delightful lively blend at just 11% ABV. The ‘rosso’ is a characterful blend of Merlot and indigenous Corvina, offering up bright cherry and plum flavours; whilst ‘bianco’ combines Garganega and Chardonnay, a true reflection of this specific terroir close to the town of Soave.

Viticulture

Grapes are harvested from young vines planted on the hillsides along the southern shore of Lake Garda. The combination of deep, mineral rich soils, atemperateclimate, with milder winters and cooler summers than in many neighbouring areas, and the cooling influence of the lake itself, makes this the perfect location for producing expressive and accessible wines.

Winemaking

Fermented in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures to preserve the fruit purity and expression.

Oak Ageing

No oak ageing
