    One of the best Merlots in Italy: the inviting aroma is almost reminiscent of a Burgundy, with notes of raspberries and, only with time, the typical black forest berries and a delicate peppery spiciness. A generous variety of flavours on the palate, power and depth combined with finesse and elegance. Not at all furry, but harmonious, beautifully rounded by ripe, silky tannins and very long. A real rarity – if only because only around 5,000 bottles were filled and it is therefore hardly ever tasted. SUPERIORE.DE

    "Ripe berry and violet flavours follow through to a medium body with taut and concentrated tannins and a flavourful finish. Some undertones of orange, lemon and crushed stone at the end. From organically grown grapes. Needs time to open up." James Suckling

    "One of Italy's great Merlots, this wine is a perennial benchmark for international varieties cultivated in Tuscany. The 2022 La Ricolma is an organic wine that straddles a delicate balance between richness and elegance. This vintage leans a little bit more onto the concentrated side of the spectrum with black fruits, a velvety texture and excellent complexity. Beyond the fruit, I get hints of toasted spice, earth, blue flower, green caper and apricot." Wine Advocate

    "The 2022 La Ricolma will challenge some of San Giusto's greatest vintages of all time. Exotic and lush, the 2022 offers abundant dark fruit, lavender, dried herbs, chocolate and mocha. The grape harvest took place on 22-26 September, late for Merlot, but not as late as the winery is aiming for with its pruning regime. In other words, the intense heat prompted San Giusto to harvest the fruit a little earlier, and it paid off. You will find a vertical, structured Ricolma for the cellar. This is the 2022 vintage at its best. It is a stunning beauty." Vinous
