A rich, well-balanced and fruity dark red wine. with a powerful and highly complex bouquet. Dried fruit initially (prune and raisin) followed by berries (blackberry) and a little stone fruit (plum). On top of this are spices (vanilla, liquorice) and roasted aromas (toast, burnt wood, soot). Dry on the palate. The tasting team noted light residual tannins. Overall, very soft, full-bodied and harmonious. The powerful aftertaste again contains fruit, spice and roasted aromas. Medium finish.

Region

Tessin

Tessin is the southernmost canton of Switzerland. Thanks to its pleasant climate and Switzerland’s warmest summer temperatures, it is well-suited for viticulture. The Bordeaux vine Merlot is cultivated across more than 80 percent of the nine cantonal districts of Bellinzona, Blenio, Leventina, Locarno, Mendrision, Riviera, Vallamaggia and Mesolcina. Due to the Alpine topography, the winegrowing areas are scattered and consist of small parcels on slopes with a subsurface of granite covered in a thin layer of earth. Nowhere in Switzerland is the concentration of high-quality vintners and wines so high, so much so that in 1997 a system similar to the Italian DOC was introduced. The full, aromatic and storable red wines are among Switzerland’s best and enjoy an excellent international reputation.
