Salto de Cieco Rosso 2022

Umbria, Italy

Merlot (100%) · 2022 · 12.5% abv

Ruby-purple in the glass, with aromas of red flowers, cherry, and a whisper of spice. Juicy yet structured, with supple tannins and a savoury finish.

Production

Traditional methods: fermentation with skins in stainless steel, allowing full colour and tannin extraction. Post-fermentation, the wine was aged partly in stainless steel and partly in amphora, giving freshness with subtle texture.

Vinyard

Clay soils at 350 m in Valnerina provide both body and freshness. Organic vineyard practices ensure balance and biodiversity, while the altitude allows grapes to ripen slowly. The wild, rugged setting is reflected in the wine’s honest character.

Pairing

A natural with roasted meats, game, or mature cheeses. Try with wild boar ragù for a truly Umbrian match.
