Imola, on June 15th the Merlotta winery presents the new line of Tridènte wines

A history spanning more than 60 years made of tradition, quality, passion and excellence. But new challenges, in the latitudes of the Merlotta winery, are always on the agenda. Thus the Imola wine-growing reality, a point of reference in the production and oenological field of the territory on the border between Emilia and Romagna, felt a strong desire to further enhance the identity of its native vines. The idea behind the genesis of the new project is clear: three wines that already stand out for their exclusivity, prestige and elegance, enclosed in a single word: Tridènte. This is the name of the new Merlotta line, the pinnacle of the 2024 collection. But behind the extraordinary glance of the new bottles, the result of the Minzolini family’s obsessive attention to the quality of the product also from an aesthetic point of view, there is a path that has its roots in the desire to delve deeper into the origins of the winery itself.

A meticulous work of historical, artistic and mythological research starting from those sea dragons that have long characterized the Merlotta brand. It all starts from an ancient fresco present in the master room of the family’s private residence, a room still embellished today with paintings capable of fascinating experts and visitors. Art critics, in fact, trace the dragons and tridents to the marine processions linked to Neptune, divinity of the waters, in a revival in the agricultural context necessary to invoke the prosperity of the vineyards. Thus the Tridènte line, identified by its recognizable umbrella brand, is inextricably linked to the evolution of a mythological trend that has marked millennia of myths and legends.

The choice to combine the Merlotta brand with ancient symbolism is synonymous with the desire to further elevate a production already recognized and certified as being of the highest quality. In detail, here are the three new productions:
– Tridènte Bianco “Albana Docg Secco 2022” from late harvests, obtained from the blend of the three vintages 2022 (mainly), 2021 and 2020;
– Tridènte “Sangiovese Doc Superiore Riserva 2021” obtained from the blend of the three vintages 2021 (mainly), 2020 and 2019.
– Tridènte Classic Method obtained from Albana grape variety 36 months zero dosage;

And like any important new development worth its salt, the Merlotta winery led by the Minzolini family has decided to celebrate the release of the Tridènte line with a major event scheduled for June 15th from 4pm onwards at the headquarters at number 1 in via Merlotta.
A rich program of initiatives with entry by invitation, including guided tastings of new wines, cultural salons with experts to deepen the studies and historical-artistic and mythological research developed in recent months, wonderful tours among the vineyards and inside the cellar, high-altitude aperitifs in a hot air balloon, concerts at sunset, Romagna food trucks and DJ sets under the stars, to capture yet another author’s chapter between the pages of Merlotta’s fascinating novel.
