Clos Venturi (le clos) Rouge AOC 2020

Wine Details
This fascinating wine combines 50% Niellucciu, 40% Sciacaccarellu and 10% Carcaghjolu Neru from hand-selected grapes grown on 30-year-old vines on sandy south-eastern slopes at 400-480 m altitude. Following partial selection of the fruit, must production was carried out with wild yeasts in 40 hl barrels at 25°-30° C. A maceration of 45 days was followed by punching down the cap one to three times daily, after which the wine matured for 14-18 months before being bottled without correction and only lightly filtered.

Colour Profile
Bewitching violet-red, so deep and full that it appears almost opaque to the rim.

Aroma Palette
The 2020 Clos Venturi reveals itself initially as earthy and complex. With some air, it unfolds its charming fruitiness, characterised by sloe, sloe stone, blackcurrant, blackberry and elderberry. Seductive floral notes of violet and peony hover over everything, complemented by smoky accents and aromas of rosemary, black olives and hard minerals.

Taste Experience
The dense, dark fruit glides refreshingly across the palate, carried by an inspiring and precise acidity and tannin structure that integrates perfectly into the fruity fabric. The herbal notes, which emerge even more distinctly on the palate than on the nose, create an invigorating and pure impression. This red wine tastes best served lightly chilled and is the ideal companion to substantial dishes.
