AN IMPRESSIVE ARRAY OF MEDALS LEND LUSTER TO MOLETTO WINES

Spring 2007-one of which Moletto Winery is proud thanks to the number of prestigious awards won by its wines.
In April at the International Wine Competition Vinitaly 2007 in Verona, its Cabernet Sauvignon Selecti 2001 was awarded the Bronze Medal, while the Diploma of Merit was given its Merlot Piave DOC 2005. At the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles, there was the wonderful, unexpected surprise of two magnificent Gold Medals. One for its Merlot Piave DOC 2005 and the other for its Malbech 2005. Both intense, special wines whose shining characteristics won over the jury.
And this is not all because at the Decanter World Wine Awards 2007, held in London, the Silver Medal was awarded its Colmello Rosso 2000, which had already been the subject of a number of prestigious awards. As Luca Maroni wrote in his Guide: "Excels in consistency and there is a good balance between its tightly-knit tannic structure and the pulpy and viscous maturity of its round opulence. Tremendous fragrance evolved from its vanilla-tinged spiciness."
The spring parade of medals closes with the resplendent result of Cabernet Sauvignon Selecti 2001, Gold Medal at the International Wine Challenge, held in London. Competition that awards, as Commended, also Malbech 2005.
Colmello Rosso, Cabernet Sauvignon Selecti, Merlot Piave, Malbech: all red wines, all award-winners. In light of these results, has something perhaps changed in international tastes? Giovanni Stival replies. "The challenge lies in making simple things great. In combining excellence with normality, as happened with the Merlot Piave and the Malbech. Fruity, fragrant wines with their own personalities that are able to stand up to comparison with other flavors and aromas. It is in this that I see an evolution in international tastes. These red wines are full-bodied and intense and have a smoothness that is the result of letting time do its work. I have always believed that patience is the intermediary between the wine expert and the consumer."
