Oratorio San Lorenzo Carmenere Riserva 2017 from Colli Berici D.O.C.

Oratorio San Lorenzo is the most exclusive expression of Carmenere signed by Inama, a red wine that originates from a selected vineyard and tells with great precision the character of the Colli Berici. Its identity combines maturity, aromatic depth, and finesse, with a style designed for those seeking an intense, authoritative red rich in personality.

Territory and wine style

This wine comes from a small valley immersed in the nature of the Colli Berici, a unique context that favors a dynamic microclimate very conducive to grape ripening. The presence of the surrounding forest helps create significant temperature fluctuations between day and night, an element that helps preserve balance and complexity. Oratorio San Lorenzo is made from pure Carmenere and represents a selection of the best parcels of the vineyard, with limited production and a very clear qualitative imprint. Aging in new and semi-new barriques helps define a rich, structured, and refined style.

On the nose, intense aromas of small dark berries, cocoa, pepper, and spices emerge, with a dense and persistent aromatic weave. On the palate, the wine shows body, phenolic maturity, and a sensation of roundness well supported by freshness. The sip is authoritative, enveloping, and long, with a savory finish that invites a second taste. It is a wine that focuses on concentration and balance, rather than simple power.
