Winery: Planeta

Description: Sito dell’Ulmo is a single-variety Merlot from a single vineyard. Years of experience helped us identify on the banks of Lake Arancio, among the vines planted at Ulmo in 1987, the ideal place to obtain the best from this classic French variety.
Destalking followed by 14 days on the skins; fermentation at 28⁰C; after racking malolactic fermentation in stainless steel and maturing for 14 months in barriques.
It is a multi-faceted and intriguing red wine which combines the pleasure of tannin with an extraordinary persistence of taste.
