Description
Il Barlettaio’s Merlot is an important wine. Balsamic and spicy notes on the nose. Enveloping in the mouth and with a dense tannic texture
Il Barlettaio di Radda in Chianti, is a small family-run business whose vineyards are located just outside the village. The face behind the Barlettaio is that of Francesco Bertozzi who poured all his passion for Chianti Classico into this business.
The vineyards are about 500 meters above sea level, and give life to fresh and particularly lively wines, and with fine aromas of great complexity. All this contributes to the natural longevity of these wines.
The soils in the area are essentially Tuscan boulder, alberese and galestro, that is, sandstone, clay and limestone that give the wines a very elegant tannic structure and an attractive taste flavor that greatly lengthens their persistence in the mouth.
Barlettaio works organically. The wines are never banal, but of character and faithful interpreters of the Raddese territory
