Profile
This wine is 100% from the rebo grape variety, created about 100 years ago by a cross between teroldego and merlot; the former gifts the wine with its refined fragrances, the latter with its impressive structure, while the synergy of both is exhibited in Zerdí’s deep purple-garnet hue. Maturation in oak hones the wine without blunting its fruit, which is gloriously in evidence on a complex nose dense with blackpepper and wormwood. Rich, warm, and multi-layered
in the mouth, it boasts well-integrated, fine-grained tannins. It will be at its superb best with hearty, full-flavoured
dishes.
