The Matasci winery was founded in Tenero in 1921 and is now run as a family business by the fourth generation. Around Lake Maggiore, characterful Ticino wines are produced, combining traditional winemaking with modern cellar techniques. Alongside wine production, Matasci is also committed to preserving the region’s wine culture and runs a wine museum and an enoteca.
Bright ruby red. On the nose, fresh aromas of redcurrants, cherries and raspberries. On the palate, the wine is juicy and well-balanced, with fine, soft tannins, a pleasant freshness and a harmonious, fruit-driven finish.
The Merlot is fermented traditionally on the skins and aged in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks. This preserves its fruity aromas and its approachable, elegant style.
