Vallombrosa Merlot del Ticino
Red wine | Ticino DOC
Ambassador of the Ticino Merlot!
The "Vallombrosa" Merlot del Ticino has an intense, spicy nose with a richness of wild berries. On the palate, this red wine is intense and elegant, supported by dense tannins that soften with age. A model of this grape variety south of the Alps. That's because it comes from a historic vineyard, one of Tamborini's most famous, where the first Merlot vines were planted over a hundred years ago!
