Poggio ai Merli 2019 Toscana IGT - Castellare di Castellina

Poggio ai Merli 2019 Toscana IGT – Castellare di Castellina is one of the purest and most powerful expressions of Tuscan Merlot, a wine made from a single vineyard cultivated with obsessive care and representing the most contemporary soul of the historic Castellina in Chianti winery. The 2019 vintage, considered among the best of the decade for its balanced climate and slow ripening, allowed the grape variety to achieve impeccable aromatic concentration: intense aromas of blackberry, black cherry, and ripe plum blend with notes of cocoa, fine tobacco, Mediterranean herbs, and a delicate spiciness derived from aging in French oak. On the palate, the wine is rich but never heavy, supported by a vibrant freshness and dense, velvety tannins that accompany a long, savory, and profoundly territorial finish. A classy Merlot, produced in limited quantities, perfect for enthusiasts and collectors seeking a red capable of combining elegance, structure, and a clear Tuscan identity.
