Poggio ai Merli is a single-varietal Merlot that relies entirely on the terroir of central Tuscany and consistently embodies the Castellare style. It presents an intense, rich garnet colour. On the nose, delicate aromas of ripe blackberry emerge, accompanied by hints of mint, a touch of oak, and a subtle varnish note. On the palate, it delivers a powerful and gripping structure, with well-integrated oak enhancing the overall experience. The wine is rich and slightly saline, still youthful, and would benefit from further ageing in the bottle.
