The wine of the month for September is our CARMENERE DOC VENEZIA

Wine of the month for September: Carmenère DOC Venezia, elegance and history in a glass

Among the most fascinating grape varieties in Veneto viticulture, Carmenère DOC Venezia occupies a special place. For years confused with Cabernet Franc, Carmenère has found its rebirth in the Venezia DOC area, revealing itself today as one of the most authentic and distinctive reds of the territory.

Origins and characteristics of Carmenère

Carmenère has ancient roots: originally from the Bordeaux region, it spread to Veneto in the 19th century, where it was often referred to as “Italian Cabernet”. Only in recent decades has its true identity been recognised and appreciated.

Our Carmenère DOC Venezia Rechsteiner stands out for:

• Colour: intense red with violet reflections.
• Aroma: notes of ripe red fruits, black pepper and light herbaceous nuances.
• Taste: soft and enveloping, with a pleasant spiciness and balanced tannins.

Food pairings

Carmenère is an extremely versatile wine at the table:

Perfect with grilled meat and game.

Ideal with mature cheeses and typical Venetian cured meats.

Excellent with strong-flavoured first courses, such as ragù or spicy risottos.
