Inroso Merlo 2021

Art. # 6643
This exceptionally juicy Merlot is a precise product of the Tuscan winery Colline Albelle; entirely made from the biodynamic vineyards of their small estate, from biodynamically grown grapes, in the style of the more elegant Bordeaux wines from the late 1980s. A classic in the genre, but still with depth, development of aromas in the glass, and length of taste. This is a Merlot that confidently expresses itself and its character, without 'shouting' at you, charming and flexible, with excellently preserved fruity aroma and freshness. It ages for 18 months in various containers - 1/3 new barrels, 1/3 old barrels, and 1/3 in amphora. Without filtration, without too much manipulation, you will be convinced that this is a wonderful and pure natural product.

More about this product

Albelle Hill

Albelle Hill

Проектът Colline Albelle стартира през 2016, когато се срещат трима запалени ценители и професионалисти във виното от Франция и България, заедно с техните семейства. Любовта им към Тоскана ги отвежда в Рипарбела, красиво село на хълмовете над тосканския бряг, където откриват същински диамант - едно изоставено винарско имение, истинска мечта. И бързо мечтата се превръща в реалност. Уайнмейкър е Жулиен Рено, отдаден на принципите на биодинамиката, и той успява да придаде на винения проект техническата структура, но и характер, който е пропит от страст, и модерна интерпретация, чиито корени са дълбоко в принципите на устойчивостта и биоразнообразието. От българска страна Диляна Василева създава насоките на това винено приключение, а Ирена ръководи артистичната страна на проекта.

Tuscany

Tuscany

Tuscany is one of the most diverse and significant regions for Italian wine, where the optimal combination of local and international varieties is obtained, located in many different terroirs. In the second half of the 20th century, it managed to travel the path from mediocre quality to the creation of bright international stars like Sassicaia, Solaia, and Ornellaia. It is no coincidence that they are called Supertuscans due to their incredible aromatic and taste characteristics combined with aging potential. Looking at the map, Tuscany resembles a vine leaf in the heart of the Apennine Peninsula. It is the border between the highly industrialized North and the agricultural South of Italy. It is divided into nine separate provinces: Arezzo, Florence, Grosseto, Livorno, Lucca, Massa-Carrara, Pisa, Pistoia, and Siena, named after the main cities. As diverse as Tuscany is, its climate is generally Mediterranean with many sunny days throughout the year. The soils are mainly composed of clay, sand, and limestone. Sixty-eight percent of the region's terrain is described as hilly. The varieties that are most widespread are Sangiovese (the absolute leader and endless pride for the locals), Canaiolo, Malvasia, Trebbiano, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Shiraz, Vermentino, and Ciliegiolo. Sangiovese has already become synonymous with top wine from Tuscany, and although the variety is widely spread in Central Italy, the Tuscan climate (which sometimes has quite frosty winters) and the calcium-rich limestone-clay soils prove to be the most hospitable for it. Sangiovese can be rich and juicy, but it also has a good potential for recreating the specific terroir of the area. Traditionally in the region, it is blended with Canaiolo and Malvasia, and sometimes with Trebbiano, but since the 1980s, producers dedicated to the idea of super-premium wines with provenance prefer it 100% pure. This is also enshrined in the region's classification, according to which the high categories DOC and DOCG tolerate Sangiovese as a mandatory participant with over 85% in the varietal blend. That is why it is not surprising that Sangiovese dominates the vineyards of Carmignano, Rufina, the hills around Vinci, Chianti, and Chianti Classico, to the south around Montepulciano and Montalcino. The number of plantings per hectare is 3500 - 4000 for old vines and 6000 - 10 000 for new ones.

Merlot

Merlot

Southwest of France is Merlot’s birthplace - the regions of Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. Merlot is nowadays widely planted across the world much like Cabernet Sauvignon because it is an early maturing grape variety and because of its ability to ripen fully even in slightly cooler climates. Smooth, velvety, soft and rounded - an “easy drinking" wine with tender tannic structure - these are the common descriptions of Merlot wines.
