Merlot grapes from vineyards with a yield of less than 3.5 tonnes per hectare with the wine maturing in oak barrels for a couple of years. A classic from Enzo Pontoni who loves to reduce the yield of each plant almost to the extreme in order to obtain a wine that expresses force and structure but also abounds with red fruit, from berries to dried prunes. This wine is still at the start of its evolution and we are sure over the next decade it will improve even further.
