2019 Torcilacqua | 6 packTorcilacqua Our First Italian Merlot Introduced to me by good friend Francesco Mazzi acclaimed winemaker at La Massa in Panzano. The winery is owned by the Florence engineering family, the Mariotti's . The vineyard is in the stupendous valley adjacent to Panzano known as Badia a Passignano. This valley is dominated by the world famous Antinori group who source the fruit for their finest wines here. 2019 "Torcilacqua" This is from the first commercial

While the French oak is extremely subtle it has taken fruit more to the background

Super earthy aromas and soft and clean on the palate

A wine that begs to be paired with charcuterie

While not as revered as its spoilt brothers

great bottle age and some stunning packaging make it a great value buy

The opportunity was presented to source Mataro grapes from the Chalk Hill vineyards of McLaren Vale

The vineyard

bright fruit core

demonstrating that strong old-vine fruit – sourced from the Western Barossa and Marananga – can be smartly harnessed by gentle oak and tannin treatment

And a few years back I convinced them to bring a younger vibe to what was staid

I am super happy with this wine and hope you are too
