Other curiosities
The quality of the grapes, the very close attention paid during the method of working to preserve the elegance and structural characteristics of the grape, the aging technique and the quality of the woods used have made the merlot a wine of great structure, soft in the mouth, mellow and attractive. Intense red colour, tending towards pomegranate as it ages. Grapey fragrance, intense, varietal characteristic, softening with age. Dry tasting, savoury, full-bodied, appropriately tannic, harmonious.
