Dolfo's Merlot Riserva is a rich and complex wine, encapsulating the essence of the winemaking tradition from the region it hails from. The selective harvest of Merlot grapes, followed by meticulous vinification and extended barrel aging, endows this wine with a distinctive character and impeccable structure.
Visually, the Merlot Riserva displays a deep ruby-red color, with shades that lean towards garnet as it ages. The bouquet is intensely aromatic on the nose, featuring notes of ripe red fruits such as plums and blackberries, enhanced by an elegant vein of sweet spices and a hint of vanilla, resulting from its time in wood.
On the palate, the richness of the fruit is expressed with notable smoothness, balanced by a lively freshness that leads to a long and persistently harmonious finish. The tannins are well-structured yet soft, highlighting careful and precise maturation.
Dolfo's Merlot Riserva pairs beautifully with hearty dishes such as red meat roasts, game, and aged cheeses. Also perfect as an after-dinner meditation wine, this selection is ideal for those seeking an intense and memorable sensory experience.
It is recommended to open the bottle a few hours before consumption to allow the wine to oxygenate and reveal its full aromatic complexity. With an aging potential that enables it to evolve elegantly over the years, Dolfo's Merlot Riserva promises to enrich the cellar of every enthusiast.
