The colour is deep and vibrant purple, clear, brilliant and beautiful texture. The nose is complex and the black fruit (blackberry and blueberry in particular) prevails in a clear manner. Raspberry, cherry and plum, followed by roasted notes of cocoa, vanilla and coffee. The mouth is soft and enveloping, with fine and elegant tannins. Warm, soft and very balanced. The finish is long and harmonious with a marked fruity aftertaste.
Tuscany has demonstrated to be a fantastic land for Merlot vines, with renowned wines all over the world like Masseto. This Merlot made in Castellare, thanks to the strategic position of the vines, has a unique character you may find only in the best International Merlot wines.
It is easy to match with main courses and all red meats, like liver and boar.
