Rosato di Toscana IGT 2020 (BIO)
The grapes of this 100% Merlot come from a single vineyard of Brancaias Maremma-Dependance, certified organic since 2020. Three months of ageing on the fine lees results in a polished, mineral rosato in a class of its own. Bright salmon pink, fragrance of floral notes and watermelon, ends precisely and long with a fresh, well-dosed acidity and fine melting. SUPERIORE.DE
"Delicately shimmering copper with a touch of gold. Fine meadow herbs envelop the nose, then ripe cranberries, some sea buckthorn and delicate fumé. Spans finely over the tongue, harmonious, clear, delicate minerality, stoffig with delicate melting in the drink, reverberates on fine fruit play, beautiful interpretation." Falstaff
"A fresh, layered red with cherry and citrus aromas and flavors. Medium body. Creamy texture and a minerally aftertaste. Lively." James Suckling

Rosso Marche IGT 2018
Bisci can not only produce excellent Verdicchio, but also very appealing Rosso. With the most inexpensive wine in the assortment of the noble winery from the Marche, it has succeeded in making a great hit: Fascinating aroma of red berries, noble wood and herbs, in the background a discreet, smoky component. Precise and taut on the palate, with a wonderful primary fruity core, framed by liquorice and a dried bouquet of Mediterranean herbs. The 20% Sangiovese content provides the necessary freshness and structuring acidity, and together with its fine tannin weave, this respectable red glides harmoniously into an equally respectable final. A really good red for the not everyday days of the week. SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2018 Marche Rosso blossoms in the glass with a pretty display of dusty rose, incense, strawberries and cedar spice box. It's silky-smooth, almost creamy in feel, with depths of ripe red berries, licorice and sweet inner herbal tones, all energized by vibrant acidity. A coating of fine tannins punctuates the expression well, as this tapers off lightly structured and perfumed. There's so much balanced pleasure to be found in this blend of 80% Merlot to 20% Sangiovese. However, I recommend another year of cellaring for it to fully blossom." Vinous

“del Pompiere” Merlot Venezia-Giulia IGT 2020
Mario Schiopetto was born in 1930, he grew up in the family-owned Osteria ai Pompieri and had his first professional experiences as a fireman and later as a truck driver. In 1963, guided only by his taste and love of wine, he began to devote himself to wine production in his parents' farm and produced the first pure Tocai in 1965. The historic label at the time included the drawing of his fire engine, which he also used to deliver the wine to customers. With the current 2019 vintage, the winery is reflecting on these historical roots and is reintroducing the cute drawing on some of its wine labels.
Garnet-purple coloured Merlot with a warm scent of crisp plums and ripe blackberries, plus earthy nuances and a hint of clove. Slender but full-bodied on the palate, all components wonderfully harmonised. SUPERIORE.DE

Dark ruby to garnet red. Exuberant aroma of blackberries and wild berries, complemented by a refined spice component. The palate is elegant, finely fruity, almost polished. This Merlot is not at all plump like so many representatives of this grape variety - it is medium-bodied, finely accentuated and leads with fine-pored tannin into a respectable finish. SUPERIORE.DE

South of Margreid lies the "15er" site, which is characterised by deposits of the Fenner stream and the Etsch river and has been largely planted with Merlot vines since 1957. Its site enjoys particularly good aeration due to the warm wind from Lake Garda, the Ora, which gives the wine a filigree structure and great finesse. Cherry red with ruby shimmer. Impressive bouquet of concentrated fruits, pepper and vegetal notes. Pleasantly medium-bodied, precise and balanced, with a fine hint of bittersweet and a convincing freshness. SUPERIORE.DE

“In Violas” Merlot Cortona DOC 2018
The DOC Cortona, which has existed since 1999, is famous for its single-varietal Syrahs and Merlots, whose vines thrive excellently on the Pliocene clayey soils. Since 2006, the Carletti family has also been involved in this appellation, which was quite unknown until today, and their Merlot Il Violas is now known beyond the borders of Italy and has many lovers.
Dense, dark ruby with violet reflections. On the nose, an open-hearted bouquet of black berry fruits, sandalwood, rosemary and with fine spice. The texture coats the palate, warm, intense and rich of dark fruits, chocolate, plum and redcurrant. In Violas is a generous and deep red that just calls out for a Bistecca Fiorentina and gives much pleasure. SUPERIORE.DE

"This is a stand-up Merlot that delivers no more and no less that you should expect of the grape. The Marina Cvetić 2015 Merlot (from the IGT Terre Aquilane appellation) is a soft and layered expression with lots of ripe fruit and sweet back-end notes of cherry and blackberry. The wine's texture is loosely knit and bold, with a broad and wide approach.

The Merlot is a high quality red wine which is spread all over the world. It comes from the Bordeaux area and is the worthy partner of Cabernet Sauvignon.
Merlot is not an uncomplicated cultivar in the vineyard: it sprouts earlier than Cabernet Sauvignon and therefore suffers more from frost. It also has a strong tendency to trickle during the flowering period under cool and wet weather conditions. Merlot, on the other hand, makes it easy for the winegrower to choose the right grape variety for each vineyard. All soils that do not seem suitable for Cabernet Sauvignon cultivation are generally ideal for Merlot. This is because it prefers heavier, deeper and more water-storing substrates than Cabernet Sauvignon.
Pure Merlot wines are fruity, full-bodied and soft, sometimes smooth, sometimes even fatty. They are deep red and captivate with their intense fruit aromas, which evoke memories of spices and cherries. The taste and smell are also reminiscent of currants, tobacco, blackberries and often of "burnt rubber". Their less pronounced tannin structure makes the charming plants accessible much earlier than the wines from Cabernet Sauvignon. Nevertheless, the best Merlot wines are almost as long-lasting as Cabernet Sauvignon. When blended with this, the Merlot can - depending on its proportion - either soften the strict nature of Cabernet Sauvignon or be given a certain degree of structure and firmness by its tannin-rich partner.
Today, a total of around 100,000 hectares are already planted with Merlot worldwide, and the trend is rising. This corresponds approximately to the total area under cultivation in Germany. Merlot is also widespread in northern Italy with an area of 30,000 hectares.
The plants are mostly fruity, light and uncomplicated. They are excellent companions for light Italian cuisine. But wherever the Bordeaux wines of the Libournais and in particular the incomparable Château Pétrus are regarded as the pinnacle of wine-making, Merlot is given greater care. An outstanding example is the Masseto of the Ornellaia winery in the Tuscan DOC Bolgheri Superiore. SUPERIORE.DE
