Merlot Vecchie Vigne

The purest Merlot, made from hand-picked grapes, followed by sorting in the vineyard and on a vibrating table in the cellar, fermentation and maceration in horizontal vinifiers and 12 months’ ageing in new French oak barrels.

It has beautiful ruby tones, intense but bright, consistent with evident arches that gradually form on the sides of the glass. The nose is immediately intense, complex and refined; it has clear notes of blackberry, black cherry and violet; then it opens up to a spicy character: sweet tobacco, cocoa, vanilla, sandalwood and liquorice. The attack on the palate is extraordinarily balanced: it is immediately warm and enveloping with well-polished, round, “almost sweet” tannins; it has a savoury finish supporting persistent notes of blackberry and cassis, with sweet spices. Recommended with roast kid, stewed rabbit, veal shank and semi-mature cow’s milk cheeses.
Serve at 16-18°C.
