Delea Merlot Carato Riserva 2018
Carato Riserva is made from the best selections of Merlot grapes from vines over 40 years old. The grapes are grown in the vineyards of the Colline del Locarnese, where they benefit from the best sunshine during the day, and from the fresh night breeze, the grapes enjoy the best conditions for a perfect ripening. The Carato Riserva rests for about two years in new French oak barriques. A wine of great structure that fully reflects the terroir that generated it, with an intense and spicy character of great aromatic finesse and elegance.

Colour

Intense ruby red with violet reflections.

Bouquet

Deep, sweet, at first it recalls cassis and blackberry, then leather, light tobacco, eucalyptus and tea leaves, balsamic.

Flavour

In the mouth it is full, gritty, voluminous, long and persistent, at the same time elegant and spicy, with great structure and suitable for ageing.

Pairing

Excellent with fine meats, fillets, pigeons, barbecued chops and game.
