Vinified and bottled by Fina Vini srl - Marsala - Italy
Produced in Italy
One of the fundamental characteristics of Merlot is its great ability to adapt. A grape variety originating in the Bordeaux region, in Italy, in particular, it has for decades found its chosen land in the cool, temperate regions of the North East. But today, thanks to new techniques and a deeper knowledge of its nature, it is able to give very interesting results even in the regions of southern Italy. This is the case of this pure Merlot proposed by Cantine Fina. Cultivated in vineyards at about 350 metres above sea level, this vine reaches perfect ripeness at the end of August. Fermented in stainless steel at a controlled temperature, the wine matures for about 12 months in barriques before being bottled. Intense ruby red in colour, with purple highlights, the nose reveals hints of currants and ripe plums, with notes of black pepper. In the mouth it is pleasantly rich and round, with soft and well-smoothed tannins. Excellent with red meats, such as roast beef, it can also accompany special dishes such as stewed rabbit.
Bruno Fina and his sons are the soul of Cantine Fina. We are in Sicily, in that enchanted corner of the island that overlooks the Egadi Islands. In Marsala, to be precise, where the little jewel of the Stagnone Reserve is located, with the island of Mothia in the centre and the ancient salt pans all around. It is here that the family produces the fine wines of the family tradition. The winery is modern, designed with expertise by Bruno himself to rationalise space and production processes. Everything here is conceived and realised with the utmost respect for the integrity of the fruit. And the results can be appreciated in the glass. It is no coincidence that Fina is now one of the best known and most respected names in Sicilian oenology. From Sicily to the world.
