Awards: 93 points at the Decanter Award in London and 2nd place at the Mondial du Merlot, Grand Master category in Zurich
Grapes and Vinification:
100% Merlot, fermented and macerated in conical logs in wood for 40 days, aged in barrels for 15 months.
Tasting characteristics:
A ruby red coloured wine, on the nose an immediate wine that focuses its olfactory notes on the freshness of the fruit and the spiciness.
On the palate it is a fresh wine, balanced between hardness and softness of taste, with tannins present but still elegant with a beautiful fruity expression.
Medium structured and in perfect harmony with the nose.
Pairings:
Meat-based first courses, e.g. risotto with Ticino lard and aromatic herbs or luganighetta.
