Character: The Cabernet-Merlot originates Arzenhof, hill between 300 and 400 meters above sea-level. Talus cone sloping to the southeast, with calcareous gravel, porphyry, and quartz sand (mineral components) and sufficient loam (body). Mediterranean microclimate. A saturated bordeaux red, a delicate aroma of berries, chocolate and tabac. Elegant tannins underscore the wine's complexity; a smooth finish with a touch of warmth accompanies its fiery finale.
Recommendation: This wine pairs perfectly with red meats, game and piquant cheeses.
Serving temperature: 16-18° C

The colour: dark ruby. A smell of raspberries and strawberries, a grace of blackberries. A complicated and, nevertheless, harmonious body, severity and acid in the unison, hard and concentrated. A velvety, persistent departure.
>> dettaglio
Color: intensive ruby to garnet red. Smell: The Pinot Noir presents itself as a multifaceted wine on the nose, where the delicate primary fruit aromas of wild strawberries and blackberries blend with restrained aromas of tobacco and flint, and notes of white field mushrooms. Taste: Well balanced with a mineral elegance that makes it dance on the palate. This red wine has a long and exciting finish.
Medium intense ruby colour with a garnet shimmer. Still somewhat closed, clean uplifted varietal aroma: impressions of red berry fruit, cherries along with oak spice (white pepper, cinnamon). Quite pronounced flavour, medium bodied. Fresh finish with good length and a presence of spicy tannin. Elegant style.
IUGUM (iou-gum) is a made up name. It means "yoke" in Latin. A yoke is that wooden piece with hitched oxen into pairs, but the word "Iugum" is also used in very early agricultural texts in reference to tines being trained on a support.
The late harvest and the high ripeness of the grapes provokes a powerful flavour of dark berries (elderberry, blackberry) and chocolate. Its potent and round tannin encountered in the mouth makes us aware of the primitive charm this grape variety is known for. this the wine draws its liveliness, power and energy.
