Moratel CESCONI Biologico 750ml 2018

Moratel is a blend of four red grapes that we grow in two very distinct areas, both in terms of soil and climate. Lagrein is located in Pressano, while Teroldego, Merlot and
Cabernet grow in the vineyards in Valle dei Laghi.

PRODUCTION AREA
The Lagrein vineyard is cultivated with a pergola system with a western exposure. It is the same vineyard that produces the grapes for our Pletter reserve, but in this case

However, in this case the vines are younger, with an average age of about 20 years. The climate is continental and the soil is composed of a sedimentary rock type
consisting of limestone and compact sandstone known as the Werfen strata. The Valle dei Laghi, on the other hand, has a Mediterranean climate and from here, with vines
trained using the guyot system, we harvest Teroldego,
Merlot and Cabernet. The soils are of morainic origin and in the case of Merlot, which grows in the Pivier vineyard, there is a substantial amount of clay and silt.

20 days for Merlot and Cabernet. Once fermentation is complete, the wine is aged in barriques for about 12 months and only then is the cuvée between the different wines
made. In order to
In order to safeguard the freshness and fruity characteristics of the wine, the barrels used are exclusively used. After bottling, Moratel is left to mature for at least six
months in the bottle before release.
