“Charles V, ruler of an empire on which the sun never sets, is on his way to Bologna to meet Pope Clement II. Along the way, he stops at Montecchio Maggiore. At the grand banquet held in his honour, among many gifts, he’ll be presented with nine barrels of excellent wine. A gift much appreciated by the refined emperor”.

The Carlo V “Il Rosso dell’Imperatore” Rosso Veneto I.G.T. is a Bordeaux blend with mostly merlot, made according to ancient vinification and appassimento (grape drying) techniques.
