Cjarandon Riserva Red 2020

Cjarandon Riserva Red is produced in the Friuli Venezia Giulia region of northeastern Italy, an area renowned for its diverse terroir and quality wine production. The winery Ronco dei Tassi is located in this region, benefiting from its unique microclimate and soil composition.

This Riserva is typically crafted from a blend of indigenous and international red grape varieties, with a focus on Merlot as the primary grape. The blend may include other varietals native to the region to enhance complexity and structure.

The wine undergoes a careful vinification process including controlled fermentation at regulated temperatures to preserve aromatic integrity. It is aged for an extended period in oak barrels, which contributes to its Riserva classification, allowing the wine to develop depth, complexity, and smooth tannins before bottling.
