We produce this wine from 2004, the first harvest of our merlot vineyards planted in 2001 in Sant’Andrea, grafted with our 90 old vines from the same village.

Vineyard: Sant'Andrea, Lucinico and Podsabotin on gravel, clay and clayey marl

Grapes: Merlot (2001)

Fermentation: 28 days with the skins in big Slavonian oak vat

Aging: big slavonian oak barrels and smaller french oak tonneaux and barriques for minimum 24 months and steel tank.

Bottling: by free fall with no filtration and no additives

Tasting notes: Bright, carmine with ruby  highlights of medium density. Ripe red fruit of plum and black cherry dominates a complex nose. Later: black pepper and clove are also present. Juicy on the palate: acidity and tannins support the softness towards a long, consistent finish
