Fallwind
Merlot Cabernet Riserva 2023
Merlot Cabernet Riserva 2023
Alto Adige DOC
The red cuvée Fallwind is a bold composition of Merlot and Cabernet. The two grape varieties have thrived in our vineyards since 1850. For the Merlot Cabernet Riserva Fallwind, they are vinified separately and blended after about one year of ageing in wood. Thanks to the soft tannins of the Merlot and the distinct character of the Cabernet, this wine manages to surprise even the most demanding wine lovers.
