The Freiherr Merlot Riserva Alto Adige DOC 2019 from Cantina Merano is a spicy, full-bodied red wine with a high aging potential that can compete with the great names in its circle.
On old vines sheltered at the foot of Montefranco, small-berried grapes of the highest quality and excellent phenolic maturity thrive. The cordon-trained structure is worked by hand, and the grapes are selected individually. Only a few clusters, those with the smallest berries, remain on the vines. The hand-harvested clusters then mature in new and used barriques for a wine of true greatness.
