MARCHE MERLOT I.G.T.

Its name is already appealing even though the grape

variety is well-known to everyone. Its unusual, lively

and impenetrable colour is already eyeing up the

consumer. The delayed harvest (in October) has

increased is aromaticness and complexity making it

particularly interesting. Vinified in steel to keep in all

its fragrant aromas linked mainly to forest fruits.

Warm and smooth on the palate with lingering finish,

it is easy to love.
