Sirch Cladrecis Rosso 2019

A typical wine blend called Bordeaux was sought in Friuli during the Austrian occupation in 1891. Even though Merlot was not yet widespread, it was suggested that it be experimented with: It was recognized that it is very profitable to use it Merlot for blending with Cabernet in order to obtain a greater product, quick to ripen and always of a uniform type, having all the precious characteristics of delicate aroma, flavor, roundness and harmony of taste. It is precisely with these objectives in mind that Rosso Cladrecis was born. Just as temperature excursions influence the microclimate of this village, so it maintains a constant presence of Merlot and Pignolo, while the other varietals change from vintage to vintage: sometimes it is Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso, which has always been considered one of Friulis best vines, and sometimes Cabernet, which is traditionally used in blends with Merlot.
