Merlot Khorus "Arsia" Trezero

The Arsia wine is the rosé label that is the result of the avant-garde and innovative winemaking vision of the Trezero winery. It is made with Merlot Khorus pure grapes, a PIWI red grape variety that is resistant to the main fungal diseases affecting vines. 
This rosé invites you to drink it immediately, thanks to its red berry aromas, and on the palate it reveals its straightforward, pleasantly fresh side. 
The Trezero winery is the result of a bold decision by three young friends to produce quality wines with a low environmental impact, using organic farming methods and the Piwi grape variety in an area of western Friuli where vines have been cultivated since Roman times. The vines are planted on very fine-textured clay soils, rich in skeletal remains of stones from the nearby Alps, carried down by the rivers that, over the centuries, have formed the Friuli Grave plateau. 
The vineyards, exposed from north to south, benefit from an excellent temperature range, which favours the freshness and aromatic intensity of the grapes.
Even when ripe, the Merlot Khorus grapes maintain a good acidity profile, which is essential for a good rosé wine. They are gently pressed and processed as white grapes. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature, starting at 18°-20°C for the first few days and then gradually reducing to 14°-16°C. The finished wine is aged on its fine lees, with weekly battonage to bring the lees back into suspension. 
"Arsia" has a soft, bright pink colour. On the nose it expresses delicate notes of red berries, wild strawberries and pomegranate, enhanced by spicy notes of vanilla, pepper and a hint of cinnamon.
The palate is supple and harmonious, with a balance between freshness and savouriness. The aromatic persistence is surprising, with a finish reminiscent of sweet spices and fruity nuances.
Arsia is the perfect rosé for an aperitif with friends, but it can also be elegantly served throughout a meal, enhancing light dishes, starters and Mediterranean cuisine.
