In the glass, the Ludi Offida from Velenosi presents a dense purple color. Tilting the glass a bit, a transition of the hue towards garnet red is visible at the edges of this barrel-aged wine. Swiveling the glass, this red wine reveals a high viscosity, evident in strong church windows at the edge of the glass. This Italian cuvée reveals wonderfully expressive notes of blackberries, mulberries, morello cherries and blueberries in the glass. These are joined by hints of oriental spices, black tea and cinnamon.

The Velenosi Ludi Offida presents itself to the wine connoisseur wonderfully dry. This red wine is never coarse or meager, but round and smooth. The finale of this red wine from the wine region of Marche, which has good aging potential, finally captivates with a beautiful reverberation.

Vinification of the Ludi Offida by Velenosi
The starting point for Velenosi's premium and wonderfully powerful Ludi Offida cuvée is Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Montepulciano grapes. Ludi Offida is an Old World wine in the best sense of the word, as this Italian exudes an extraordinary European charm that clearly underscores the success of Old World wines. The fact that the Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Montepulciano grapes thrive under the influence of a warm climate also has a very high influence on the maturation of the vintage. This manifests itself, among other things, in particularly well ripened grapes and rather high alcohol content in the wine. After harvesting, the grapes are immediately taken to the pressing house. Here they are sorted and carefully broken up. Then fermentation takes place in large wood at controlled temperatures. At the end of fermentation, Ludi Offida is aged for several months in French oak barrels.
