Merlot di Gudo Riserva - Ticino, 2021, 150cl, Doc

• 100% Merlot

This aging wine is made with grapes from two hillside vineyards located in Gudo, a district of Bellinzona, on the right bank of the Ticino River. Oriented to the south, they have characteristic exposures and microclimates that are optimal for producing great wines. In addition, the vineyard located at Costa Piatta takes advantage of light breezes from the valleys of Gudo that allow the vineyard to hold up well to various annual climatic situations. Vinification is Bordeaux-style with a maceration of about 20 days in steel vats, followed by maturation in new 225-liter French oak barrels. Aging depending on the vintage varies from 15 to 18 months.
