Composizone Di Rosso Piera has an intense garnet red colour with shades of violet. Intriguingly complex
aroma, spicy notes of coffee and chocolate, ethereal with hints of vanilla
mixed with dried cherry and blueberry raisins. It shows structure with
sweet tannins lending smoothness and elegance along with aromas of
prune and tobacco.

Once the different grapes are harvested, Merlot grapes are left to dry for 60 to 70 days in a controlled environment, Cabernet Sauvignon and Pignolo grapes are crushed and fermented in steel tanks at controlled temperatures of 24-26°C for about 20 days. In January, after drying, the Merlot is crushed and fermented under controlled temperatures for about 40 days. The three wines are then aged separately: Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot mature in French oak barrels for 18 months, while the Pignolo ages 24 months in American oak barrels. Once the blend is created, the wine is further refined in the bottle.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER

Piera’s story begins in 1899 at the Padua estate. Founded by her grandfather Giovanni, developed by her father Mario, Piera 1899 owes its reputation both in Italy and abroad to Piera Martellozzo who has given her name. In San Quirino, Pordenone province, in the north east of Italy, Piera 1899 chose Friuli Grave as its homeland of choice. Here the mountains to the north shelter the soil from the coldest winds. The recognized quality of Piera 1899 wines is the results of everyday hard work based on respect for the land and its traditions nurtured by an innate propensity for innovation.
