Ossidiana is the Merlot vinified in purity by the Artico winery with a ruby red color tending to purple, and a fragrant bouquet that ranges from aromas of cherry in spirit to red fruits. On the palate it's fresh, saline and with good acidity, and an elegant tannin. A representative wine of the territory that expresses with each sip.
The Arctico winery was born in the late 90s following the acquisition of vineyards between Aprilia and the Lanuvini Hills. Once the old vineyards were explanted, they were planted among the most important clones of international variety, in order to enhance the favorable climatic conditions and the characteristic limestone composition of the Pontine countryside and the Roman countryside. In 2012 the vineyards seem ready to give the first positive results and so it was, reaching today the goal of 16,000 bottles a year obtained from illustrious varieties such as Malvasia Puntinata, Trebbiano, Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.
The Merlot with which Ossidiana is produced arrived in the Pontine countryside in the 1950s, imported by families in the North thanks to the greater usability of the land after reclamation. The grapes grow on rich volcanic soils and well exposed to the sea and wind. Hence its typical minerality that envelops the palate in a pleasant way. Ideal with cold cuts and soft cheeses, or a good scottona fillet.
