Clos Roareti Rosso Veronese IGT is crafted from Merlot vines planted on a historic plot of the family’s estate, purchased in 1810, and surrounded by ancient walls. The vineyard’s deep clay-sandy soil, rich in limestone, magnesium, iron, and zinc, and excellent south-west exposure with north-south row orientation create ideal conditions for producing concentrated, healthy grapes. A precise viticulture programme ensures low yields and optimal grape quality. The vineyard spans 2 hectares, with yields of around 5,000 per hectare, producing between 6,666 and 16,666 bottles per year.

Meet the producer

Clos Roareti reflects the family’s dedication to producing limited, high-quality Merlot. The Merlot variety was chosen for its adaptability to the Veneto climate and the red clay soil, and the wine is only made in years when the grapes achieve peak ripeness.

Production

Grapes are hand-selected before machine harvest. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in steel vats with de-stemmed grapes, followed by malolactic fermentation for 10 days at 25–30°C. The wine is then aged for 12 months in 225-litre oak barriques, 25% of which are new oak, to integrate the flavours and structure.

Tasting notes

Clos Roareti displays a concentrated and layered profile, offering intense dark berry fruit supported by fine oak. The wine is harmonious and well-balanced, with depth and complexity that develop favourably with time.
