Merlot Trentino DOC 2019
Trade Tools
Italy / Trentino-Alto Adige
Bollini Merlot comes from Trentino, where the clay soils in the cool, dry highland vineyards are ideally suited to producing clean, elegant and aromatic wines of great charm. Hand harvested grapes were destemmed and crushed, and vinification was carried out in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by 12 to 15 months in large oak casks.

Tasting Note
Rich ruby with garnet reflexes. Fruity on the nose with hints of spices, red fruits and pink pepper; dry, mouth-filling and harmonious with elegant tannins, very well balanced by the acidity; very long on the finish.
