    Winemaker Notes

    Agnus Merlot has an exquisite ruby red color and a delicate, complex aroma, with classic Merlot characteristics in its bouquet including red, ripe fruits such as strawberry, raspberry, and black mulberry. The palate will experience balanced, mature tannins, a smooth and harmonious wine which unveils a pleasant fruit taste, and a long finish.

    Agnus Merlot is a versatile wine with regard to gastronomy, and is an excellent complement to pasta, risotto, poultry, barbecue, lamb, duck, beef, mature cheeses, and robust red-sauce dishes.

    Lidio Carraro Winery Image
    In 2001, the Lidio Carraro winery started operating. In the same year the family acquired 200 acres in Encruzilhada do Sul, Southeast region of Rio Grande do Sul state. Later on, this area became recognized as a prestigious wine region in Brazil.

    Earliest harvest of Vale dos Vinhedos vineyards took place in 2002, which is what allowed for the creation of Lidio Carraro's first wines, that were released to the market in 2004. Shortly thereafter, the wineryprovides a selection to represent Brazilian wines at the Duty-free international airports’ stores, becoming the first Brazilian producer to do it, in its own country. In 2005, the winery opened the doors to the world and Lidio Carraro started having international attention, leading to the first export.

    With generous fruit and supple tannins, Merlot is made in a range of styles from everyday-drinking to world-renowned and age-worthy. Merlot is the dominant variety in the wines from Bordeaux’s Right Bank regions of St. Emilion and Pomerol, where it is often blended with Cabernet Franc to spectacular result. Merlot also frequently shines on its own, particularly in California’s Napa Valley. Somm Secret—As much as Miles derided the variety in the 2004 film, Sideways, his prized 1961 Château Cheval Blanc is actually a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc.

    Portugese colonists brought wine producing grapes to Brazil as far back as the mid 16th century but the mainly humid, tropical environment proved to be a challenge for the early settlers. Though it is a large country, only a small portion, towards its southern end near Uruguay, is within the ideal latitudes for wine production. Brazil has about the same acreage under vine as its South American wine-producing neighbors, Chile and Argentina, but most of it is for table grapes. About 10% of the land is Vitis vinifera, the wine producing species.

    Brazil has enjoyed consistent quality advancements since the 1970s and 1980s, largely due to investments by international wine companies, namely Moet & Chandon, Seagram, Bacardi, Domecq and Martini & Rossi. Serra Gaucha, a southerly coastal region of low mountains, recognized for sparkling wine production, is Brazil’s key wine region. Campanha, its neighbor, is attracting more attention for its red wines (Cabernet and Tannat) and white wines (Chardonnay).
