Merlot

Very interesting the herbal, intense, well ripened and marked Merlot. A drinking classic, soft and round. SUPERIORE.DE

Dark red with typical varietal bouquet, slightly peppery and grassy notes. A strong, fleshy red wine with a nice spiciness and balanced finesse. SUPERIORE.DE

"There’s some lovely, citrusy freshness here to match the brambly, darker nuances of black pepper, dark cherries and licorice. Medium body, subtle and fine tannins and a tangy finish." James Suckling

Dark red with typical varietal bouquet, slightly peppery and grassy notes. A strong, fleshy red wine with a nice spiciness and balanced finesse. SUPERIORE.DE

"Blueberries and blackcurrants with flowers and spices follow through to a medium body, firm tannins and a crisp finish." James Suckling

Sparkling ruby violet, smells exciting, lots of rich fruit, with fine spices. On the palate it is full-bodied, with cassis and dark cherries, underlaid with fine tannin, very clear and straightforward. SUPERIORE.DE

Merlot grapes from mineral-rich terroirs and the style of Conte Loredan Gasparini produce this wine with an unbeatable price/quality ratio. Fine bouquet of cassis, minerals and a tiny hint of vanilla, on the palate harmonious and well-balanced, the tannins pithy but still full of melt, long final. SUPERIORE.DE

"Elegant, rich garnet with delicately brightened edges. Slightly reduced on the nose, after aeration delicate vegetal notes, red peppers, citrus syrup, fresh raspberries, light leather, tobacco. On the palate with an equally light vegetal green spice, which, however, makes for a high drinking flow, medium-strong, juicy, in the rear area gentle post-drying." Falstaff

Sparkling ruby violet, exciting fragrance, lots of rich fruit, with fine spices. On the palate plump, after cassis and dark cherries, underlaid with fine tannin, very clear and straightforward. SUPERIORE.DE

Delicate pale old pink, in the nose apricot, yellow fruit and pink grapefruit. Delicate and fresh with a soft structure, which makes this impressively elegant Rosato from predominantly Merlot the perfect companion for mild Mediterranean dishes and seafood. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2019 T.M. Rosé is fresh yet also quite earthy, leaning toward savory herbs and crushed stone minerality, as notes of young strawberry and pretty florals come forward. On the palate, soft textures give way to a mix of ripe red berries and melon tones, carried by brisk acids. It finishes a bit short, yet with a mouthwatering, almost-salty quality, which just begs you to take another sip. There may not be unseen depths here, but the 2019 Tenuta Monteti is ready to give a lot of pleasure." Falstaff

"Quite zesty with a bit more structure than a typical Provence rose. Good food wine with something to get your teeth into. A satisfying rosé for the table." Jancis Robinson

The grapes of this 100% Merlot come from a single vineyard of Brancaia's Maremma branch. Bright salmon pink, scents of floral notes and watermelon, ends fresh with a mineral vein. SUPERIORE.DE

"Rosé wines are still a small but fine niche in Tuscany: from the coast to the hills of Chianti, you can find wines in every vintage that are among the best that Italy has to offer. Like this Rosato made from Merlot grapes from the renowned Brancaia winery (with estates in Castellina in Chianti, Radda in Chianti and Grosseto). After three months on the lees, it produces a mineral rosé with a bouquet of rose blossoms and berries, a pithy acidity on the palate, a lot of grinding and a long final." Vinum

"Pastel shades, already in the color very chic! Delicately fruity in the fragrance, raspberry, sweet cherry. Wonderfully precise in the fruit and arrow-straight in the palate structure, finely nerved, fresh, light in the alcohol and yet in the extract and length far above average. First-class harvest, sensitive winemaking. A great pleasure." Falstaff

"A bright, fresh rosé with sliced white peaches and apples. Some lemons. Vivid. Medium to full body. Crisp finish." James Suckling

Garnet-violet coloured Merlot with a warm scent of crunchy plums and ripe blackberries, along with earthy nuances and a hint of clove. Slim but full-bodied on the palate, all components wonderfully harmonious. SUPERIORE.DE

Dark, clear cherry red. Subtle nose of red berries with a spicy component. Medium-strong on the palate with a nice structure, spicy and juicy taste with good length. SUPERIORE.DE

Dark colour, sweet fruity notes and delicate herbal spice. On the palate powerful, complex, with wild berry aromas and fine present tannins. Black berries and some caramel in the aftertaste. SUPERIORE.DE

Intense and bright ruby red. Characteristic, delicately sweet fragrance with hints of plum jam, tobacco, hay and coffee. The taste is dry and soft, spicy and harmonious with a fruity blackberry and plum component. Very concentrated and typical, this Merlot with super wood spice leads into a respectable finish.
