Gialdi Vini is one of the leading names in Ticino wine culture. What started in 1953 as a wine trading company evolved in the 1980s into one of Switzerland’s most respected Merlot producers. With modern cellars, close collaboration with regional growers and an uncompromising commitment to quality, Gialdi continues to shape the style of Ticino Merlot: precise, terroir-driven and beautifully balanced.
Deep ruby red with garnet reflections. The nose reveals intense aromas of ripe wild berries, cherries, cocoa and delicate toasted notes. On the palate full-bodied, smooth and harmonious, with elegant fruit, silky tannins and a long, spicy finish.
Traditional vinification with maceration in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature. The wine then matures for around 18 months in French barriques, enhancing structure, spice and elegance.
The grapes come from prime Merlot vineyards in the Leventina and Riviera regions of Ticino. Alpine influences, sunny slopes and mineral-rich soils give the wine freshness, depth and aromatic precision.
