Novaline Merlot Trentino Doc Riserva
DENOMINAZIONE DI ORIGINE PROTETTA
In the past we used to denominate a wine with its grape variety, instead of its geographic origin, not considering that a grape variety will never give quality results if it does not find the suitable growing conditions. For this reason, we try to develop the potential of our region through the identification of the Crus, as these vineyards represent our region and our passion in the best way.
Merlot Novaline is part of this project.
Novaline is the name of the valley, where the vineyard is situated, in the municipality of Matterello, in the south of Trento. This area is renowned and boasts a long history. The experience has showed us, that this area is particular suitable for the production of red wines, Merlot in particular.
