Description

Merlot 1966 Cantine Soc Campodipietra is a red wine from Veneto, Italy, produced by Cantine Soc Campodipietra, a cooperative winery dedicated to traditional winemaking in the region. The 1966 vintage represents a classic style of Italian Merlot from the mid-20th century: elegant, structured, and approachable while offering subtle complexity developed over decades.

Tasting Notes:
The wine displays a deep garnet-red color with brick-orange highlights along the rim, reflecting its maturity. The bouquet is refined and layered, featuring aromas of dried plums, black cherries, and subtle red fruit notes, complemented by tertiary hints of leather, cedar, tobacco, and soft earthy undertones. Aeration brings out gentle balsamic and mineral nuances, adding elegance and depth.

On the palate, it is medium-bodied with smooth, well-integrated tannins and balanced acidity. The finish is harmonious and lingering, showcasing dried dark fruit, delicate spice, and subtle earthy tones, reflecting the careful evolution of Merlot over more than fifty years.

Serving & Food Pairing:
Serve at around 16–18°C, decanting carefully if sediment is present.

Pairs well with roasted or braised meats, hearty stews, game, mushroom-based pasta dishes, and medium-aged cheeses. Its refined character also allows it to be enjoyed on its own as a contemplative tasting wine.

Producer:
Cantine Soc Campodipietra is known for producing Merlot wines that balance structure, elegance, and aging potential. The 1966 vintage demonstrates the winery’s dedication to traditional craftsmanship and the expressive potential of Merlot in the Veneto region.
