Merlot 'Parabuio' Castello di Meleto 2019

The Merlot 'Parabuio' from Castello di Meleto embodies the excellence of Tuscan winemaking tradition, a vinous masterpiece that captures the essence of the territory with elegance and refinement. The presence of galestro in the soil facilitates gas exchange between air and earth, enabling the ideal ripening of Merlot even in high-altitude areas. This characteristic imparts natural balance to the grapes and an excellent predisposition to aging, as is the case with this wine, promising an unparalleled sensory journey.

The vineyards of Merlot 'Parabuio' at Castello di Meleto thrive in the picturesque subzone of Casi, nestled between two hills bathed by the rushing flow of the Parabuio stream. At an altitude of 400-440 meters above sea level and with a southeast exposure, the grapes develop a unique character that is reflected in the glass. The clayey soil promotes the optimal evolution of Merlot grapes, while artisanal practices, from manual harvesting to vinification, preserve the purity of the fruit. Alcoholic fermentation occurs with repeated punch-downs to extract color, aroma, and tannins to the fullest, and subsequently, the wine briefly rests in concrete containers to stabilize. Aging in barrels for 24 months further imparts complexity and structure to the wine, transforming it into a high-quality oenological masterpiece.

The sensory profile of Merlot 'Parabuio' from Castello di Meleto is a symphony of unique aromas and flavors. Wild berries, cherry, and vanilla intertwine with spicy and tobacco notes, creating an enveloping olfactory melody. In the mouth, the fullness and softness of the wine are elevated by its clean freshness, inviting exploration of every nuance of its taste. It magnificently accompanies red meats and medium-aged cheeses, turning every meal into a sophisticated and gratifying gastronomic experience. Merlot 'Parabuio' is not just a wine but a tribute to the passion of Tuscan winemakers and the timeless beauty of the land that hosts it.
