Falstaff: 96 points

Alcohol content: 14.5 vol.

Grape varieties: 100% Merlot

Vinification:

Classic fermentation in a 7000-litre wooden vat.

Some of the harvested grapes are dried before pressing.

The wine is then aged for at least 18 months in new barriques and matures for a further year in the bottle before being released for sale.

Tasting note:

Wonderfully typical Merlot nose: ripe cherry, a little dried plum and a hint of blood orange. Allspice and mace take over the spicy part. Present but very fine-grained tannin on the palate, long acid nerve. Maximum freshness and elegance on the finish.

Vinattieri:

The Vinattieri winery was built in the classic Bordeaux style: The centrepiece is the courtyard, the heart, where the grapes are delivered and selected. Depending on the quality, the wine is matured in steel tanks or barriques. After bottling, Vinattieri allows the wines to mature in the bottle, which can take between one and four years, depending on the variety.

Over the years, the Vinattieri winery has taken over a significant area of vineyards, which are essentially spread over three sites. 80 per cent of the vineyards in Mendrisiotto are located on limestone soils of various origins. The Lugano and Malcantone areas, on the other hand, have more acidic soils that produce fresher wines.
