TASTING NOTES
The three grape varieties that make up Portavita Rosso present very different characteristics: Schiava can be distinguished by its pale ruby red color, fresh, fruity nose and light body, with good minerality. Merlot reveals a ruby red color, intense, vinous, slightly spicy nose and a full, round, slightly tannic palate; Teroldego is deep in color, has an intense, fruity nose and a robust body. When blended, these wines bring out the best in each other: Schiava tones down the tannins in Merlot, while Teroldego contributes fruit, finesse, structure and balance. The result is a modern wine with a medium-deep color with purplish reflections, an enticing, intensely fruity blueberry and raspberry nose; medium- bodied, well-rounded and pleasantly harmonic.
