The single-variety Merlot boasts a glossy, ruby red colour, dense and multifaceted on the nose. Its notes of dark cherries, blackberries, dried rose petals, a little sweet tobacco and dark chocolate are interwoven with a hint of mint. A powerful and complex bouquet emerges on the palate with fine roasted flavours. The finish is lovely and long, the wonderful balance rounds off the enjoyment to perfection.

Details
100% Merlot, 100% pleasure! We only press the Antenata in big years. Then it smells of cherries, blackberries and roses, while showing fine roasted flavours on the palate.
Recommendations
A wonderful accompaniment to tagliata di manzo as well as pasta with truffles.
Vinification
The Merlot grapes from the «Santa Maria» location undergo a strict selection process and after the harvest are fermented on the mash in stainless steel tanks. The young wine is then aged for twelve months in new French barriques and a further twelve months in bottles. A homage to the art of wine – this noble and elegant Merlot is only produced in big years. With the name «Antenata», meaning ancestor, we want to hark back to the timelessness and values of the ancient tradition of viticulture as well as pointing to the future.
