Alto Adige/Südtirol

Medium

Cork

Trentino-Alto Adige Merlot typically has dark berry fruit with a distinctive herby, liquorice twist. This wine has the typical medium body of the wines of the Alpine valley but with the extra dimension of depth given by the  60-year-old vines. There's immediate, intense impact on the nose, where sour plum and dark wild berries jostle with fennel, liquorice, and distinctive notes of a salty, mineral character. The mid-weight palate is broad and firm with vigorous, slightly inky tannins and a progression which has freshness and tangy depth of flavour. Long and linear on the finish, with an energetic grip.
