2022 Merlot di San Gimignano DOC San Quirico
San Gimignano - Merlot - Red

Wine Description:

The grapes are hand-picked into crates after the less suitable grapes have been pruned from the vineyard. They are brought to the cellar within 1-2 hours, destemmed, and approximately 70% of the berries are gently crushed.

Vinification is traditional, with pumping over and punching down for 10-12 days at a controlled temperature. The wine is then racked and racked into 15-20 hl barrels for approximately 15 months.

Intense ruby ​​color, a clean aroma with notes of red berry fruit and subtle nuances of vanilla, licorice, and spices. The flavor is savory, well-structured, balanced, and warm, with hints of wild berry jam, and a good persistence on the palate.

Wine Cellar:

San Quirico Azienda Agricola in San Gimignano began selling bottled wine in 1974, establishing itself in the best national and international markets.
Thanks to the use of modern technologies such as the pneumatic press, blast chiller, and a careful but moderate use of the finest French oak barrels, we are able to give our wines character and elegance that reflect the San Gimignano terroir and bring satisfaction to our constant work.
