As the name implies, this Tuscan red wine is made from the Merlot grape (85-100%), and up to 15% of local red grapes can also be added, with the exception of Aleatico and Moscato.
The color is ruby red, and with aging it becomes more of a garnet. The aroma is characteristic and inviting for the Merlot grape, and the taste is dry and ample.
There is also a Colline Lucchesi Merlot Riserva.

Did you know?
That Italy in 2011 was the worlds largest wine producer?
The Molise region has historically been so neglected that you can hardly find the origin of its name, beyond that it's believed to have originated from the Middle Ages, where a Normann family, the Moulins, owned large portions of the area as a county.
