Ascona Riserva
Merlot Ticino DOC Riserva
2020
It is the only true Ascona wine: the fruit of the first rows of vines planted on our estate, forty years ago. Maturation for two years in barriques enhances the link with the microclimate of Lake Maggiore and the mineral soil, the result of the millennial work of the Maggia river.

How it looks
Dark garnet red and brilliant at the edges.
Aroma
Nose with great finesse and complexity. The fruity part offers notes of dehydrated red fruits. The toastiness is light and well integrated, combined with a balsamic background of dried flowers, orange peel and oriental spicy hints.
Taste
Important structure and tannin. A wine of class and great longevity. Dry, elegant and excellent acid shoulder. Harmonious with the nose and very persistent.
Perfect match with
Baked Terreni alla Maggia rice with eggplants and ticino cheese gratin. Lasagna with eggplants and lamb ragout. Chateaubriand with Bérnaise sauce. Fine meats, venison, great cheeses. Perfect to accompany an after-dinner meal.
