? /100

A pretty red with aromas of blueberries, plums, incense and tea leaves. Full-bodied and structured with a creamy texture and firm, chewy tannins. Vibrant, long finish. Merlot. Try in 2023.

James Suckling

92 /100

The 2019 Poggio ai Merli (Merlot) is a dark, fleshy wine that will drink well right out of the gate. Spice, leather, new oak and tobacco add pretty hints of Chianti Classico savoriness to the lush Merlot fruit. Although quite appealing now, the 2019 has enough tannic grip to age well for many years to come.

About the grape

Merlot

Merlot er en af verdens mest populære rødvinsdruer og den næstmest plantede røde sort globalt — kun overgået af Cabernet Sauvignon. Druen stammer fra Bordeaux, hvor den især dominerer på Right Bank i appellationer som Pomerol og Saint‑Émilion, hvor dens bløde struktur og rige frugt gør den til en naturlig modpol til Cabernet Sauvignon.

Merlot kendes for sin runde, saftige frugtprofil, med noter af blomme, sorte kirsebær, brombær og undertiden chokolade eller vanilje, afhængigt af klima og fadlagring. I køligere klimaer viser Merlot friskere røde frugter og lettere urtepræg, mens varmere områder som Napa Valley giver mere fyldige vine med blødere tanniner og mørkere frugt.

Druen er elsket for sin velvet‑agtige, bløde mundfølelse, moderate syre og tilgængelige stil, hvilket gør den ideel både alene og i blends — især sammen med Cabernet Sauvignon, hvor den tilføjer rundhed og balance.

Merlot er samtidig kernen i nogle af verdens mest eftertragtede vine, herunder legendariske Pomerol-vine som Château Pétrus.

Serving

Server ved 15–20°C i store glas, så frugt og aroma får plads.

Castellare di Castellina

Castellare di Castellina er et af Chianti Classicos mest respekterede og traditionsrige vinhuse. Det blev skabt i 1970’erne, da Paolo Panerai samlede fire historiske gårde – Castellare, Caselle, San Niccolò og Le Case – med ambitionen om at fremstille vin i absolut topklasse.
