Description

The Merlot Terre Siciliane IGT from the Linea Luna of Az. Vinicola Vaccaro is born in the green heart of Sicily, a land rich in Mediterranean light and winemaking tradition. This wine fully expresses the character of Merlot, an international grape variety that here finds fertile soil and an ideal climate to develop intense and complex aromas.

In the glass, it shows a deep ruby red color, while on the nose it reveals scents of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and plum, accompanied by delicate vegetal notes and light spicy hints. On the palate it is harmonious, soft, and enveloping, with well-integrated tannins that provide structure and persistence.

Careful aging enhances the wine’s balance and elegance, making it suitable to accompany roasted meat dishes, moderately aged cheeses, and hearty first courses. A Merlot that naturally and finely tells the Sicilian territory.
