Boccadigabbia PIX Merlot Marche Rosso IGT 2003

Vineyard: approximately 3 hectares; exposure: SOUTH, near the sea; sandy-clay soil;

Planting density: 3,600 plants per hectare

Training system: spur-pruned cordon

Harvest: First ten days of September; hand-harvested; yield: 50-60 quintals of grapes per hectare.

Winemaking: After a long maceration on the skins during fermentation, the wine is transferred as soon as possible to new barriques, where it completes malolactic fermentation and remains for 12 to 15 months.
This Merlot benefits from the climate of the southern Marche region, which allows us to harvest very ripe, healthy grapes.

Tasting notes: The wine displays the characteristic qualities of the grape variety, such as its smoothness and full body, along with great aromatic complexity. Notes of small berries, chocolate, leather and coffee, combined with beautifully sweet tannins, allow for some of the most imaginative pairings.
