Il Querceto Riserva
Merlot Ticino DOC Riserva
2019
From the grapes of our Merlot vines that are at least 30 years old, we only obtain nine thousand bottles each year. Ageing in new barriques for 18 months gives the wine surprising finesse, but also the ability to evolve over time and to integrate spicy aromas.
Important: while stocks last, bottles may differ from the displayed image and have the historical Terreni alla Maggia label

How it looks
Garnet of medium intensity, ruby highlights
Aroma
Broad and complex. Initial notes of redcurrants and wild strawberries turn to nutmeg, pipe tobacco and hints of sweet liquorice
Taste
Dry and enveloping. Tannic texture present and never intrusive. Good structure with excellent drinkability and persistance
Perfect match with
Pizzoccheri from Ticino, beef fillet, beef tournedos with foie gras, escalope and a side of black polenta and roasted vegetables with port sauce
