Sossó

Created in 1989, this wine is named after the Sossò stream, which runs at the foot of the hill where the grapes grow. Made with carefully selected and oldest vines of Merlot and Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso grapes, together with a small percentage of Pignolo, Sossó is the result of skillful vinification of grapes from old vineyards in Rosazzo. A supremely complex and well-structured wine, it stands out for its elegant, ripe, sweet, fruity tannins.

Mainly trained in the Guyot system, the vines benefit from marl and sandstone soils of Eocene origin. The 2018 harvest took place from the second half of September to early October. The healthy and perfectly
ripe grapes are harvested by hand, in small crates, to preserve the integrity of the berry. Carefully destemmed, the fruit is then crushed. Fermentation is carried out with maceration on the skins at controlled temperatures in conical trunk vats. The wine matures in small barrels of French oak. The bottled wine is then aged in temperature-controlled binning cellars.

Tasting notes

Color:

Deep, intense ruby red with purplish hues.

Nose:

Assertive and captivating, with a generous, complex bouquet. A pleasant floral note of dried roses blends with hints of berry fruits like currants, blackberries and blueberries, followed by a delicate hint of juniper and pine, enveloped by a rounded, sweetish note of dark plums that releases a seductive spicy sprinkling of cloves and black pepper. An enticing nuance of tobacco appears in the finish.

Palate:

Fine and velvety, with remarkable structure. Mouthwatering sensations of black cherry and black mulberry backed up by bitter notes of dark chocolate. Fragrant candied orange peel and dried herbs complement the structure and enhance the grip. A delicate balsamic touch with hints of resin and menthol mingles with a salty tang offering a long, mouthfilling, fresh and seductive finish.

Food pairings:

Red meats, roasts, feathered game, medium and extra mature cheeses.
