Alto Adige Merlot 2003
Alto Adige (Alto Adige)
The wine shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of ruby red, little
transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing and refined aromas
that start with hints of black cherry, raspberry and plum followed by
aromas of blueberry, cyclamen, menthol and hints of bell pepper and
vanilla. In the mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a slightly
tannic attack and however balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors,
good tannins. The finish is persistent with flavors of black cherry, plum
and raspberry. Part of this Merlot ages for 6 months in cask followed by
5-6 of aging in bottle.
