Inama Azienda Agricola Carminium

At the Oratorio di San Lorenzo, the Carmenere vines eventually became 15 years old. Due to the meticulous attention in the vineyards, consistent improvements and other goals achieved along the way, these sites were upgraded alongside those that produce Inama's most important label: “Oratorio di San Lorenzo Carmenere Riserva DOC Colli Berici”.

This allowed to introduce a second wine: “Carminium Carmenere DOC Colli Berici”. It represents a more immediate appreciation of a pure Carmenere, without omitting complexity and elegance. The expression of this unique wine was created by the clays, formed by the landscape of this incredible place, which has almost been kept in its natural state.

Vivid ruby core with a narrow purple rim. Intense on the nose, with herbs and spices,
black fruit, tannins are soft and balanced. Charming.

Vinification: Destemming of the grapes. Maceration and fermentation for about 12 days in upright stainless fermenters with internal paddles. First racking, pressing and second racking in stainless steel vats where malo occurs. The wine is aged in 20% new and 80% used barriques for about 12 months.
