A Ticino Merlot that is the perfect complement to refined meat dishes such as game, poultry, and roast beef, while also pairing beautifully with hearty cheeses.
In the 1980s, Guido Brivio launched his own wine line, collaborating closely with the renowned Gialdi winery, which had already specialized in processing grapes from the Sottoceneri region. Brivio wines focus on grapes from southern Ticino. In 2001, Brivio Vini SA was acquired by Gialdi Vini SA, expanding the portfolio to include wines from northern Ticino.
Complex and intense, featuring notes of ripe plums and sour cherries. Subtle roasted aromas reminiscent of licorice blend with delicate hints of spices. On the palate, it is fresh, elegant, and rich, with a solid structure and slightly sweet tannins. The finish is long, balanced, and harmonious.
The wine undergoes traditional vinification with an extended maceration period of 13 to 17 days at temperatures between 30 and 32ºC. After fermentation, it matures for over 13 months in French oak barriques. Frequent racking of the barriques allows bottling without fining, cold stabilization, or filtration, which may result in a slight sediment in the bottle – a testament to the wine’s gentle handling.
Premium vineyards in Ticino, where the terroir is perfectly tailored to meet the needs of Merlot, offering ideal conditions for its growth.
