This and nothing more. In 2016, Merlot has one of the most beautiful expressions achieved in Tuscany. The wine is extremely soft and silky, but its compact texture supports a generous aromatic profile ranging from black cherries to spices; tobacco and fresh potting soil. On the palate, the wine is rich and ample, but do not be left with the impression of excessive weight.
