Isola delle Falcole ISOLA DELLE FALCOLE Aurè Merlot 2022

Isola delle Falcole Aurè Merlot 2022. The wines of this winery are born from the extraordinary microzones located between Panzano and Montefioralle, the result of a meticulous selection of grapes from naturally grown vineyards. These vineyards, facing south, are located at an altitude between 400 and 520 meters above sea level. The Cru “Aurè” comes from 100% Merlot grapes, naturally fermented and aged for 18 months in French oak barriques.

The clayey and calcareous soil, with a prevalence of marl and fossil segments, gives the wine a unique and complex character. The south-east exposure of the vineyards, together with the spurred cordon training system, guarantees perfect ripening of the grapes, with a production limited to 800 grams per plant.

After vinification in steel and maceration for 12-15 days at a maximum temperature of 28°C, the wine is aged for 18 months in French oak barriques. This is followed by further refinement in the bottle for 12 months, before being ready to be appreciated.
