Description
What kind of wine it is
Bradisismo Colli Berici Cabernet is a still red wine from Veneto by Inama, created from a skilful blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Carménère. An authentic expression of the Colli Berici region, it stands out for its intense and deep aromatic profile. On the nose, pronounced notes of small dark berries, blackcurrant and dried cherries emerge, enriched by hints of spices, pepper, vanilla, cocoa and tobacco, with subtle echoes of Mediterranean scrub. On the palate, it is smooth and rounded, supported by mature tannins that provide a solid structure. The finish is balanced and marked by a long persistence, ideal for excellent ageing potential.
Where it comes from
This wine originates from the areas of Lonigo and San Germano dei Berici. The vineyards, managed organically and characterised by a southern exposure at around fifty metres above sea level, ensure optimal and consistent ripening of the grapes. The silty-clay and calcareous soils provide an ideal substrate, giving the wine a distinctive mineral texture. In this particular habitat, the Carménère develops its typical spicy nuances, which blend harmoniously with the character of the Cabernet Sauvignon, ensuring the wine has a compact structure and great personality.
How it is produced
Production begins with manual harvesting and subsequent destemming of the grapes, followed by maceration on the skins and fermentation in vertical vats for about twelve days. Malolactic fermentation takes place in stainless steel at a controlled temperature. The maturation process continues for fifteen months in oak barrels, some of which are new, a choice that enriches and refines the aromatic range. A light filtration precedes bottling, followed by a crucial resting period to achieve final structural harmony.
History and Curiosities
Born from the passion of a Venetian family active since 1965, the Bradisismo Colli Berici Cabernet expresses an authentic identity, far removed from passing trends. This excellent organic volcanic red wine comes to life between Lonigo and San Germano dei Berici, where the south-facing vineyards capture all the mineral essence of the land. The 2021 vintage offers a deep and harmonious sip, perfectly balancing Cabernet Sauvignon and Carménère. This wine presents spicy and complex aromas and a solid structure ideal for long ageing.
