Pàtrimo is no ordinary southern Italian. Vinified purely from Merlot, this exceptional wine comes from ancient, ungrafted vines that Feudi di San Gregorio once discovered at high altitudes in Irpinia – a viticultural rarity and the foundation of one of Italy's most iconic red wines. Deep dark ruby colour with a violet rim in the glass. The bouquet shows Merlot in an unusual, Mediterranean way: Black cherry, ripe plum, liquorice and rosemary, underpinned by mocha, tobacco leaf, vanilla and graphite. Structured and opulent on the palate, but never overloaded: velvety tannins, extract-rich fruit, dark spice and a hint of balsamic freshness that balances the richness. The long ageing in new French barriques lends the wine noblesse without putting it in uniform.

Pàtrimo is an exceptional Merlot with a southern character and great inner tension. A unique wine from Campania that not only impresses with its rarity, but also with its depth and expressiveness. A monument to the combination of old vines, love of the terroir and modern vinification. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2018 Rosso Merlot Patrimo seduces with a stunning bouquet that blends wild blueberries and black cherries with sweet herbs, tobacco and hints of graphite. This is velvety in texture yet lifted and graceful in feel. Dark chocolate traces complicate sleek wild berry fruits as crunchy tannins amass toward the close. Inner sage and violet florals swirl throughout the long and structured finish. A bump of residual acidity maintains a juicy persona despite the 2018's power and youthful disposition. Lovers of Merlot, pay attention; this is a first-class juice." Vinous
