WINE DESCRIPTION

Castellare Toscana Poggio Ai Merli is a premium red wine produced by Castellare di Castellina, a renowned winery in Tuscany, Italy. The wine is made from a blend of Sangiovese, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown in the Poggio Ai Merli vineyard, which is located in the heart of the Chianti Classico appellation. The vineyard features a unique terroir with clay and limestone soils, which impart a distinct minerality to the wine. The grapes are carefully handpicked and undergo a traditional winemaking process, including fermentation in stainless steel tanks and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a full-bodied and complex red with notes of dark fruit, spice, and tobacco, and a long, elegant finish.
