Merlot
2018Toscana Rosso
Indicazione Geografica Tipica
Blend of Sangiovese, Syrah, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon; a structured, captivating, and versatile wine.
Ripagrande is our only blend, born in 2004 with the aim of enhancing our Sangiovese vinified in steel vats. We believe that this method enhances the flavour and original scents of the fruit. The combination with the other varieties, after separate vinification, gives structure and softness to the Sangiovese base and fosters good ageing.
- Grape mix: Sangiovese from the youngest vineyards, Syrah, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon
- Manual harvest: harvested when the different grapes have reached the correct phenolic maturity
- Ageing: 24 months in steel vats for Sangiovese, and in barriques for Syrah, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon
- Production: 4,500 bottles
- Serving suggestions: in red wine glasses, at a temperature of 16 – 18 ºC
Our advice: it is a versatile wine, suitable to be served both as an aperitif with cold cuts and cheeses as well as an accompaniment to rich soups and meat dishes.

Difficult vintage: the high temperatures throughout the summer and the low rainfall put a strain on the Sangiovese vines
that had to choose which grapes to ripen. The wine is the expression of this intensity with the elegance of the other three varieties aged in wood.
