Sansonina (Lugana and Merlot) is a strictly limited and very ambitious project by the Zenato family, in which only the best grapes from their own vineyards are used. Only a small number of these are sold in numbered bottles each year.

An almost textbook bouquet of a slightly mature Merlot with dark fruit depth and beautiful notes of graphite and flint. Warm and soft on the palate, yet powerful, very precise and dry, with plenty of dark cherries and a fine sweet spiciness. You can literally feel the Lake Garda climate in its fresh and extremely harmonious character and you can look forward to further years of ageing in the bottle! SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright ruby red colour with a brightening core. Expressive, perfumed nose of sugared blackberries, lavender, rich cherries, underpinned by dark spice. Hearty on the palate, with a supple finish and great juiciness, reminiscent of dried tomatoes, good length." Falstaff

"A rich nose of dark chocolate, black fruit and licorice. The wine is full-bodied and fruit-forward. The tannins are sweet and fine grained, with a toasty finish." James Suckling
