    From the highest corner of the Vigna Istine (the name 550 refers to the metres above sea level), surrounded by cool forests, this balanced Merlot is vinified in concrete before spending around 15 months in lightly toasted tonneaux. Due to the cool location, it is – unusually – harvested after the Sangiovese so that it has more time to mature on the vine. The result is a wine with a fine tannic structure and juicy, ripe blue fruit, with a hint of red fruit and some coffee notes leading to a long, graceful finish. Production is 2,600 bottles per vintage. SUPERIORE.DE

    "This shows lush dark and blue fruit, violets and hints of mint, chocolate and spices on the nose. The medium- to full-bodied palate is polished and sleek, with vivid acidity that adds tension and length." James Suckling

    "The 2021 550 is made from 100% Merlot planted in the Vigna Istine in Radda at an altitude of 550 metres. Dark and lush in the glass, with great energy, the 2021 captures the whole family tree of the year. Blackberry, sage, menthol, liquorice and chocolate are abundant. This sumptuous, decidedly Tuscan Merlot hits all the right notes." Vinous
