Merlot Quattromani

The grapes come in equal proportions from four sub-regions of Ticino: Mendrisiotto, Luganese, Locarnese and Tre Valli. The technical data sheet mentions old, carefully selected vines, describes the separate vinification of the four lots and an assemblage following several tastings. The wine is aged for 17 months in new French oak barrels. It shows a deep Bordeaux red colour with garnet reflections, fresh fruit and spice notes, a full-bodied, rich palate, ripe, soft tannins and a long, fresh finish.
