Gli Aceri

2008 Delle Venezie Malbec

Paladin Gli Aceri is a remarkable Malbec from the esteemed Delle Venezie region, showcasing the charismatic qualities of this varietal in an elegant and expressive fashion. The wine greets the eye with a deep ruby red hue, hinting at the complexity that lies within. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, offering a well-balanced structure that combines bright acidity with smooth, approachable tannins. The fruit intensity is prominent, featuring luscious notes of dark plum and blackberry, which are beautifully layered with subtle hints of spice and earth. This captivating wine is dry, making it an ideal companion for a variety of dishes, from hearty stews to grilled meats. The 2008 vintage has matured beautifully, resulting in a wine that is both rich and nuanced, inviting you to savor each sip while enjoying its finish that lingers with warmth and satisfaction.

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.
