Castellare di Castellina Merlot Poggio Ai Merli 2016

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.

This Merlot has subdued aromas of toasted oak, mocha and ripe dark fruit. The dense palate offers roasted coffee bean, ripe black plum and caramel alongside close-grained, rather astringent tannins.
