Sant'Agnese. Merlot 'Rubido'
Sant'Agnese. Merlot 'Rubido'
IGT Toscana
Grape: Merlot
Ripe, fleshy strawberry, damson and berry flavours, laced with spice, bitter chocolate, ripe jammy fruit; beautifully intense and rich – California meets Pomerol. An absolute classic merlot powerhouse, unlike any merlot I have bought (there haven't been many), this one is unrestrained and joyous. The Hagrid of wines. 14.5%

Rubido means very intense, fitting for this soft, rich Merlot. Fermentation is in cement vats at 25° with regular pumping over. The wine is then racked and held in concrete tanks for malolactic fermentation, after which it is aged in barrique for eight months before a final assemblage and bottling.
