Tenuta Vallombrosa "Castelrotto" Riserva Merlot

Red wine | Ticino DOC

The cradle of Ticino Merlot
Castelrotto holds a special place in Ticino, where Merlot has become a speciality. The estate has been cultivating this grape variety for over a hundred years! This know-how is evident in this red wine, with aromas of blackcurrant, cherry and blackberry, underlined by fine notes of sweet spices, tobacco and cocoa. Seductive, round and fresh, it is supported by well presented tannins. An elegant wine to be enjoyed with typical dishes such as polenta and rabbit or risotto with porcini mushrooms!
