Peter Dipoli Iugum Merlot-Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

“Iugum” means “yoke” in Latin. A yoke is a wooden bar used to hitch oxen together, but the word is also used in very early agricultural texts in reference to vines being trained on a support. This vineyard is located on the slope of Magré one of the warmest vineyard areas of Alto Adige. The warm temperature and the soil structure with a high clay content determined the selection of Bordeaux varieties. Peter Dipoli’s objective was to produce a great red wine which could be barrel aged and withstand long bottle ageing.
