Description
Toscana Rosso Il Merlot 2017 Torre a Cona
Variety: 100% Merlot.
Intense ruby red color
To the imperious nose in its regal gait. Of great quality and refined ways, it has aromas of blackberry, blueberry and red plum. Notes of undergrowth and Mediterranean scrub, shrubs and wild berries follow. Finally, the balsamic notes and spices arrive, both spicy and sweeter than vanilla.
On the palate it stands out for its great class. It does not hide its origin, on the contrary it is proud of it, so it is full-bodied, voluminous and at the same time well structured. As soon as the tannic texture is hinted at, it leaves the role of freshness and minerality to excel among the hardnesses. Yet the volume is copious, creamy and enveloping. The memory of blueberry, flower and spice aromas are very persistent
Excellent interpretation of pure Tuscan Merlot. It stands out for its class and elegance.
