Castellare di Castellina Merlot Poggio ai Merli 2019
Tuscany has discovered itself an exceptional land for Merlot with world-first wines such as Masseto. This pure Merlot from Castellare, thanks to the vineyard's special position, has a rare personality to find even in the best international Merlots once again for its elegance. Since the first vintage, it has been described as a masterpiece of wine excellence.

Colour

Deep ruby red with purple hues.

Bouquet

Intense, clean, pleasant, and refined with aromas of plum, black cherry and rhubarb followed by aromas of blackberry, currant, dried violet, liquorice, tobacco, vanilla, nutmeg and pepper and hints of china.

Flavour

Excellent olfactory correspondence with a slightly tannic opening and pleasant smoothness. It is balanced by alcohol, full-bodied, and intense with good tannins. The finish is very persistent with long and good flavours of black cherry, plum and black currant.

Pairing

It perfectly pairs with red meats, in particular with wild boar meat.
