Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT
Production area
The Dolomites region offers very diverse climatic environments: from the cold alpine climate in the north to the Mediterranean climate of Lake Garda.
Grapes
Teroldego, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon
Vinification
The Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon selected grapes grow in the vicinity of Lake Garda, while the Teroldego grapes are picked in vineyards close to the Dolomite rocks, where they are exposed to direct sunlight, but also to the reflected sunlight of the white rocks. This produces a partial dehydration of the grapes and a slight over-ripening. This natural process favours polyphenolic ripening of the grapes and accumulation of aromas and structure. The grapes are manually harvested late in September and, after crushing and destemming, vinified in steel for about 14 days at a temperature of 26-27°C with the addition of selected yeasts. Subsequently, part of the wine matures in second use barriques for 12-14 months and the remaining 10% in new barriques.

Filorosso is born in the Dolomites: the habitat of the deer. Like a deer, it is alpine, majestic, mature.
This wine is an enticing blend of Teroldego, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon with a jammy and velvety profile, characterized by warm notes of red fruits, blueberry, plum and ripe currant.
