This Tuscan red wine is made from the same grapes as the regular Merlot from Colli Lucchesi, which, naturally enough, includes the Merlot grape (85-100%). Up to 15% of other, local red grapes may also be added, with the exception of Aleatico and Moscato.
This Reserve is ruby red in color, and with age it becomes more and more garnet. The aroma is characteristically Merlot, and the taste is inviting, dry and ample.
The mandatory aging period is 2 years in oak barrels.
