LE DEDICHE WINES
"ROSSO DI GIACOMO" MERLOT IGT VENETO
Description
For us, Giacomo is first and foremost the name of our grandfather, the founding pillar of our winery. It is now also the name of the latest addition to the family, Giacomo, who will one day witness the fourth generation of the Salmaso family running the business. Rosso di Giacomo is an elegant, powerful and deep wine with an intense ruby red colour. The bouquet has aromas of red fruit preserved in alcohol with spiced notes of black pepper and cloves, and trails off with vanilla, tobacco and balsam notes. Warm and enveloping on the palate with a tannin finish lending an extraordinary smoothness.
Vinification Process
Controlled temperature fermentation for 10 to 15 days. Aged in tonneaux and oak barrels for twelve months, followed by bottle ageing to mature the wine to perfection.

TESTANERA SPUMANTE BIANCO BRUT
Description
Testanera is a white sparkling wine with a vivid straw yellow colour with greenish flecks. Its fine and elegant perlage is the hallmark of a lengthy second fermentation stage. The intriguing nose reveals an intensely floral bouquet with notes of acacia and hawthorn blossom and citron, accompanied by the typical bread crust, yeast and nuts characteristics of the Traditional method. These are followed a few minutes later by flint and carbide notes. Dry and creamy on the palate, with a delightful acidic finish accompanied by vanilla and mineral qualities.
Vinification Process
After initial alcoholic fermentation, a second “long” fermentation process takes place on the lees of prized yeast strains in an autoclave at 16 to 20 °C for about nine months in accordance with the Charmat method.
