Cantina Bulgarini is a family winery located in the Lake Garda area, with a tradition in winemaking for four generations. The winery combines modern technology with respect for the local terroir, creating wines with memorable personality and balance.
Variety: Merlot
Terroir: The vineyards are located in the hilly part of Lombardy, on clay-limestone soils with good drainage. The mild climate, influenced by the proximity of Lake Garda, allows for an even ripening of the grapes with pronounced aromatic and structural characteristics.
Vinification: The grapes are hand-picked and fermented at a controlled temperature with prolonged contact with the skins to extract color and tannins. The wine is aged in oak barrels, which softens the structure and adds complexity.
Organoleptic characteristics
Aroma: Complex nose with nuances of black cherry, blackberry, dried plum and a discreet oak background with vanilla and tobacco.
Taste: Medium-bodied with well-rounded tannins, fresh structure and a soft, fruity-woody finish.
Food pairings: Pairs well with mushroom risotto, duck with wine reduction, pasta with ragu or medium-ripened cheeses.
Serving temperature: 16°–18°C
Aging potential: Up to 5 years after harvest
