Desiderio Toscana IGT Merlot
Desiderio has an explosive aromatic impact. The broad aromatic bouquet ranges from cherry jam to mulberry, with hints of wisteria blossom, black tea and liquorice. The entry is dark and textured, enveloping the palate with depth and warmth. The sip is juicy, in perfect harmony with the aromatic impressions, enriched by spicy nuances on the retro-olfaction. Dense, vibrant tannins and a deep, lingering finish hint at a long ageing potential in bottle. Delightful today, exceptional tomorrow.
