Nestled in the Colli Arentini, on the edge of the Chianti Hills, this 100% Merlot is truly remarkable. With vines now aged between 25 and 35 years and producing minuscule yields, they are reaching their peak, delivering exceptional fruit.
The region's clay-rich soils, similar to those found on Bordeaux’s right bank, contribute to the outstanding quality of the Merlot produced here.
Drinking window: 2027 - 2040
What the critics say:
"The floral aromas are spellbinding, with aromas of violets, lilacs, orange peel, raspberries, rose petals, and some oranges. It’s medium- to full-bodied with crunchy and open-grain tannins that are creamy and caressing. It’s endless in the finish. Crunchy and energetic. A wine that is thoughtful and gives you such great pleasure. Such purity. It’s like eating perfectly ripened grape must. Pure merlot. Drinkable in many ways, but will come together beautifully. A new reference point for merlot in Italy. Drink after 2028."
