This wine shows an impeccably precise and detailed bouquet. The 2014 Merlot Cabernet Franc Altrovino represents the two grapes in equal parts. Starting with the 2015 vintage, this wine will be partially aged (15%) in large Tuscan clay amphora. This vintage, however, is refined in traditional cement vats and 3,000-liter oak casks. The results are beautiful and polished with bright aromas of wild berry, sour cherry, prune, spice and leather. I was very attracted to that subtle touch of fine mineral or talc powder that adds an even greater sense of finesse and elegance on the close.
