DOC De Coronis Merlot
“De Coronis” Lago di Corbara DOC Merlot
Castello di Corbara's Lago di Corbara DOC Merlot Reserve wine is produced with choice Merlot grapes obtained from a vineyard historically called "Villa de Coronis", from which the wine takes its name, and nowadays corresponding to Podere Corone, a vineyard of about 5 hectares with a medium-texture soil on alluvial substrata. The production does not exceed 40 quintals/hectare and the maximum annual production is around 18000 bottles. Being a Reserve wine, only the best harvests permit its production, and still in a limited number of bottles. Vinification and maceration take place in steel containers for around 15-18 days at controlled temperature. When malolactic fermentation takes over from the initial fermentation, the wine is transferred into small oak casks (Tonneaux) with a capacity of 5 hectolitres each, it remains there for over 16 months, and it's decanted only once for cleaning purposes. The wine is then bottle-aged for 7-9 months before being put on the market.
"For many years Castello di Corbara Winery has respected the environment, constantly monitoring the microclimate of its vineyards dispersed troughout its territory over 1000 hectares wide, in order to guarantee the production of utterly genuine wines representing a true expression of the grapes and of the land'"
