"Esegesi" Vallagarina, 2020

Cabernet and Merlot grown in the mountains north of Lake Garda. Dark and deep, but fresh rather than heavy.

Eugenio Rosi's first wine, made every year since 1997 from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grown on overhead pergolas in the Vallagarina, the valley running down from Trento towards Lake Garda. Blackberry, ripe plum and cocoa, a minty, balsamic finish, and real freshness from vineyards at around 400 metres. Full and savoury, with fine tannin. It is made with native yeasts and natural farming, and it tastes clean.
