Ecco Domani Cabernet Merlot

2005 Delle Venezie Cabernet, Merlot

Ecco Domani Cabernet Merlot from the 2005 vintage is a delightful red wine that showcases the harmony between two outstanding varietals. Hailing from the picturesque Delle Venezie region, this wine exhibits a medium-bodied character, making it versatile and approachable for a wide range of palates. The acidity is well-balanced, providing a refreshing lift that complements the wine’s fruit-forward profile. The fruit intensity is prominent, with enticing notes of dark berries and ripe plums that dance on the palate. The tannins are soft and integrated, lending a smooth texture that enhances the overall drinking experience. This wine leans towards dryness, allowing the fruit flavors to shine without overwhelming sweetness, making it an excellent choice for both casual gatherings and more formal occasions. Ecco Domani Cabernet Merlot is a perfect companion to grilled meats or flavorful pasta dishes, promising an enjoyable pairing for any meal.

Region:


Delle Venezie

Part of the larger Tre Venezie IGT area, delle Venezie offers high quality and more regional character through tighter production rules. The region covers the Veneto, Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Trentino areas—a large swathe of northeastern Italy lying between the Alps and the Adriatic Sea. Fresh mountain breezes and cool sea air help temper the sunshine here and maintain fresh acidity in the wines, while day-night temperature variation brings aromatic intensity. As well as Pinot Grigio (which accounts for seven out of every ten bottles made), Pinot Noir does well too. Also look out for sparkling Pinot Grigio Spumante and Frizzante.
