Poggio ai Merli · Merlot IGT 2018


Castellare di Castellina, Tuscany
´Poggio ai Merli´ · Merlot IGT 2018, Castellare di Castellina, Tuscany

The pure Merlot Poggio ai Merli impressively represents the grape variety and the Tuscan terroir. The bouquet is characterized by aromas of plums, Amarena cherries and rhubarb, followed by notes of tobacco and licorice. Immensely juicy on the palate, persistent in the aftertaste. True to style and terroir.

Owner Paolo Panerai follows the ideal of traditional Chianti; international grape varieties such as Merlot and Cabernet are not found there. But Panerai is also open to noble vines from around the world. Poggio ai Merli shows what potent results an international grape variety can produce in the Chianti Classico area. - Gerardo [TS06/19]

"Very well constructed, with chewy tannins and lots of fruit. Chewy. Full body, with plenty going on and a long finish." - James Suckling

"The Poggio Ai Merli is a pure expression of Merlot that opens to a huge sense of opulence and roundness, as only the best Merlots can do. This is a seamless expression that is beaming with cherry and blackberry backed by soft spice, tobacco and leather. I loved the textural richness and the way it so softly caresses the palate. If you are a fan of Merlot, this is one of the best from Italy. It's set for either near-term or long-term consumption. - Robert Parker

"Intense, rich garnet. In the nose of delicate aroma of ripe blackberry, some mint and a touch of oak, in the reverberation of varnish. Shows on the palate with rich pressure and gripping course, well integrated wood supports the drink, rich and slightly salty, currently still young, should spend some time in the bottle, slightly persistent." - Falstaff
