Inama Oratorio di San Lorenzo Colli Berici Carmenere Riserva
Showcasing a deep ruby-red color with an intense bouquet of black plum and blackberries, enhanced by notes of spice, cocoa, and violets. Flavors of ripe plum, blackcurrant, licorice, followed by tobacco, dried leaves, and coffee fill the palate. Inama Azienda Agricola was established in 1967 by Giuseppe Inama. Located in the Veneto region of northeastern Italy, the winery initially focused on white wines from the Soave Classico area. In the late 1990s, under the direction of Stefano Inama, the winery expanded into red wines from the Colli Berici zone, an area known for its iron-rich clay and limestone soils.
