Merlino
Hidden gem, perhaps due to limited awareness about Ica Valley in Peru, this wine shines with a rich, full-bodied character. The Petit Verdot side is markedly expressive, with a bold and tannic consistency that complements the smooth, polished finish. The blend is a masterful symmetry of rich fruit flavors, bringing blackberries and blackcurrant, with notes of leather and a delicate nuttiness. A fabulous pairing for spicy dishes, such as Lamo Saltado.
