A fruity merlot with some sweet cherries, plums, spices and fine herbs. Medium-bodied on the palate with firm tannins and plenty of fruit in the finish. Generous, round and soft. Easy to appreciate. Merlot mostly coming from Marchigue.

Plush and fruity with rich black cherries, redcurrants and dark chocolate. A pleasant, medium-bodied merlot with silky, pastry-like tannins on the palate, together with black cherries and black olives. Quite resolved, with fluffy, plummy fruit and a long, delicate finish, showing immediate drinkability. A textbook merlot, mostly from Marchigue with around 10% cabernet sauvignon in the blend.
