Merlot Terre Siciliane IGT - Barone Montalto

A red wine from Sicily, made from Merlot grapes grown on the island and aged in wood. Its character is enveloping and harmonious. The nose is intense, with ripe red fruits such as cherry, plum and blackberry, along with subtle spice and light vanilla from the wood. On the palate the structure is complex and soft, with well-smoothed tannins that keep it balanced and persistent. It suits red meat, roasts, game and aged cheeses, as well as rich first courses such as ragù pasta or mushroom risotto.
