| Satre is located
at the point where the
provinces of Treviso, Padua and Venice meet and precisely in a small
town called Trebaseleghe in
Veneto. In a world awash with all different styles of wines made from the Merlot grape (from wishy-washy plonk to the ultimate in richness and complexity), our Satre Merlot is a stunningly delicious, beautifully structured red of surprisingly immense quality, especially considering the price. And this is not “just” a Merlot, either. It consists of 85 percent Merlot and 15 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, grown in two separate viticultural areas to the West and North of Venice. The Merlot grapes were grown on volcanic soils of the Colli Euganei (Euganei Hills), near Padova, while the Cabernet came from the alluvial plains formed by the Piave River, not far from the city of Treviso. According to Burton Anderson, one of the world’s top experts in Italian wines, the warm climate of this area favors “reds that can show marked personality.” Together, they make a complex blend of earthy dark cherry fruit. We think you’ll agree: the wine is a real winner! |
