TENUTA SANTA MARIA ‘DECIMA AUREA’ 2008

“this single-vineyard merlot obtains its unique character through the selection of three clones, low-yield and high-density cultivation at 9,500 vines per hectare. The vinification is carried out through a partial appassimento of the grapes with further refining in barrels over a period of 14 months. Intense, ruby red in color. Complex aroma with hints of wild berries and dried plums, accompanied by notes of coffee, eucalyptus and vanilla. Well-structured, soft tannins, well-balanced acidity and consistency. Intense, with a fine liquorice aftertaste.”
