The 2001 Merlot Sol is warm, ripe, and plummy on the nose, rich, concentrated, but also velvety in texture, and caressing and enveloping on the close. Drink: 2004-2015. Serena Palazzolo’s Ronco del Gnemiz estate has had an important visibility for over fifteen years, but the wines have seen a major improvement in quality over the past four or five years due to the collaboration of two high level talents, first neighbor Nicola Manferrari of Borgo del Tiglio and now winemaker Roberto Cipresso.
