About wine:
One of the stars of Italian winemaking, this iconic wine is a Merlot by name but a Tuscan at heart. L'Apparita is a magnificent wine that gives those who drink it a tremendous sense of excitement and energy. Its texture is supple and rich, but its tannins are soft and round. However, there is no lack of substance and structure, with continuous layers of black fruit, cherries, sweet spices, and tobacco. The wine's complexity is enhanced by elegant mineral tones and a subtle menthol signature. Temperatures are controlled and pumping over is carried out with care, and great attention is paid to the harvest to avoid the berries becoming overripe. The cool, limestone soils, with numerous pebbles, serve to insulate the roots and preserve freshness. The secret of this wine lies in the magic of the site, the exposure, and the geology. This is a new collector's edition of L'Apparita. 2025-2046

About wine:
Seductive aromas of blackberries and violets with hints of fresh black olives. Fresh violets as well. The wine is full-bodied, very rich and layered, with velvety tannins and a very long finish. Lingering flavors of dark chocolate on the finish. A powerful Merlot. Drink after 2026.
