Carattere: Ottenuto da uve Merlot in purezza provenienti da vigneti situati nella zona di Settequerce (Terlano) il Siebeneick testimonia la sicura vocazione dell'Adige alla produzione di Merlot di forte personalità. Il lungo e accurato affinamento in legno (di ben 20 mesi) si svolge per due terzi in ampie botti di rovere da 35 ettolitri e per un terzo in piccoli fusti di rovere francese, periodo seguito da un ulteriore affinamento in bottiglia di almeno 8 mesi. Rosso rubino intenso, il nostro Merlot all'assaggio mostra un intenso bouquet di frutta matura e note piacevolmente terrose, mentre al palato è pieno, asciutto e dotato di una buona struttura tannica. Un vino importante, che potrete conservare per alcuni anni in cantina grazie al suo notevole potenziale d'invecchiamento.

>> dettaglio
A clean, concentrated floral nose reminiscent of elder and acacia flower with ah hint of sage, leads to a fresh, distinctive palate with nicely rounded fruit, light oak spice and a crisp finish. Enjoy it with a snack of fresh goats' cheese and smoked salmon pâté with crusty bread, or as a partner for lobster tail salad, full-flavoured fish dishes, scallops stir-fried with ginger, or goats' cheese soufflé.
Villa Nigra is the Latin name fort he Scharzhaus ("Black House") estate, a vineyard as if made for producing fine Pinto Noir of top international standing. The strongly contrasting temperatures between day and night time enables Pinot grapes to develop their intense classic varietal character, reminiscent of raspberry, morello cherry and blackberry. An elegantly-structured wine, slender with smooth ripe tannins on the finish
