Beppe Morchetta, Rosso, Veneto, Italy, 2024

Producer Profile

Beppe Morchetta encapsulates Italian style and good taste with a trio of wines from selected vineyards in the Veneto that are unmistakably Italian, both in presentation and character.

The latest addition to the range is a bright, fresh and fully sparkling ‘Spumante’ that combines Garganega and Trebbiano in a delightful lively blend. Meanwhile the ‘rosso’ is a characterful blend of Merlot and indigenous Corvina displaying bright cherry and plum flavours, while the ‘bianco’ combines Garganega and Chardonnay in a classic expression of the local 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.

Tasting Note

The perfect Italian red for all occasions. The 2024 is ruby red in colour, juicy and succulent, spicy notes as well as ripe red fruits, cherry, some plum and the perfect balance between acidity and tannin. Salute!
