Bertinga "Volta di Bertinga" 2016, 1.5L
Unanimously recognized by the international press as the rising star in its category, this single-parcel Merlot cru reflect the unique attributes of Gaiole in Chianti.
From Block 10 of the Bertinga vineyard, planted in Albarese soil composed of calcareous marl, clay and sedimentary rocks.
100% Merlot vinified in stainless-steel vats, and aged in French oak barriques (30% new) for 18 months. Bottled aged for 18 months prior to release.
Dark and dense purple red. The nose evokes the calcareous soil from which it comes, the mineral scents prevail over the varietal ones. Notes of wild blackberries, sour cherries and exotic citrus fruits. On the palate it is powerful, dynamic and supported by a saline acidity. As the glass evolves, floral hints of violet, juniper wood and menthol emerge. The power of the sip is perfectly balanced with acidity which leads to a fresh finish with notes of licorice.
