This varietal red wine uses the same grapes as in the regular Sovana Merlot Superiore. It must contain Merlot (85-100%), and may also contain local red grapes as well (0-15%).
The wine has purplish red reflections that become more garnet after longer aging. The aroma is typical for Merlot with fruity tones. The taste is dry, exceedingly ample and especially smooth.
The mandatory aging period is 2 years in oak barrels, plus an additional six months in the bottle.
Goes perfectly with roast.
