Tasting notes

Terre di Lava is the pure expression of Merlot, resulting from a careful selection of grapes from a single vineyard located in the most favored site. The name immediately evokes a wine of great structure and elegance, forged by volcanic soils that infuse warmth and character into the grapes. The winemaking begins with a spontaneous fermentation in a conical trunk vat, which allows the grapes to fully express their identity. Subsequently, the wine continues its maturation in French oak barriques for 48 months, before completing its evolutionary journey with an additional 12 months in the bottle. On the nose, it is succulent, with an intense fruity character that recalls the varietal. On the palate, notes of cherry, walnut, tobacco, and sweet mint blend harmoniously, creating a juicy, soft sensation with well-integrated tannins and a delightfully savory finish.
