Avignonesi Desiderio Merlot 2021

Luscious and deep Merlot, with a spicy and pepper-y character that adds density and warmth, cohesive by a delightful fruity and balanced finish. A truly gratifying wine.

A classic Italian dish that has stood the test of time, Pasta a la Genovese is a true masterpiece. Decanted 2 hours after serving, it reveals a bold and layered profile with earthy undertones, forest floor notes, and a gentle barnyard presence. As the notes unfold, a nuanced rose petal and hibiscus essence emerges, gradually giving way to a sophisticated fruity concentration featuring black cherries, black currants, and plums. The zest is well-balanced, with a lingering follow through that concludes with a black cherry and earthy/espresso note, punctuated by a clean eucalyptus and plummy sweetness. A truly impressive dish.

Rich and deep Merlot from Avignonesi, 2015 vintage, expressing a deep ruby color and a nose that unfolds with strongly fruity aromas, consisting of blackberry, cassis, plum, and spicy notes. The tasting is velvety and velvety, with proper tannins and acidity, and a follow through that lingers with elegance and refinement, reminiscent of Italian Petrus. A truly fantastic wine.
