The San Giusto a Rentennano 2018 La Ricolma is an absolute stunner. This iconic expression of Merlot opens to rich and velvety concentration with lots of black intensity. Italians might call it "una bomba," or a veritable bomb of fruity bounty and beauty. The organic grapes are fermented in steel over 18 days and aged in French barrique for up to 22 months. This rather straightforward winemaking methodology results in profound fruit purity and persistence. The tannins are still tight and grippy, and this is a more controversial point that I discovered across many of the wines I tasted from 2018. You'll need to give this wine more time to evolve and soften. Production is 5,994 bottles, 315 magnums and 33 double magnums.

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.
