Caldierosso Benvenuti Croatian wine
Winery - Benvenuti
Caldierosso is a red blend composed of Teran, Merlot, Temperanillo and Nebbiolo. Teran and Nebbiolo add freshness and tannins to this unique and powerful wine, Temperanillo gives it density and its dark color, while Merlot brings together everything into an ideal blend creating a subtle softness. Each variety is harvested and vinified separately. The harvest is followed by a 10-day maceration process, wine blending and finally the aging period, during which the wine matures in large wooden barrels for about a year. Caldierosso is a wine with a pronounced fruitiness, dominated by aromas of violets, strawberries, raspberries, ripe dark fruit, developing into a spicy aroma similar to oregano. Although this is a wine with a strong structure, it is very drinkable and soft in the mouth. The first edition of Cadierossa (from the 2015 harvest) won the silver award at the Decanter.
