Maschera Rossa

2010 Delle Venezie Merlot

The Rechsteiner Maschera Rossa is a captivating Merlot hailing from the picturesque Delle Venezie region. This wine presents a deep red color that hints at its rich character. On the palate, it offers a medium-bodied experience, seamlessly balanced with a medium acidity that adds a refreshing lift. The fruit intensity is prominent, showcasing delightful notes of ripe black cherries and dark plums, accompanied by subtle undertones of spice and earthiness. The tannins are well-structured yet soft, providing a smooth mouthfeel that invites another sip. This 2010 vintage is a wine that can be enjoyed now or aged further, delivering a delightful and food-friendly experience with every pour.

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.
