Winemaker Notes
Fermentation takes place after soft pressing, with maceration on the skins in wooden vats and barriques. The wine matures for 12 months in 20 hectoliter oak barrels and completes refinement with 8 months in the bottle. The color is an intense ruby red. On the nose it opens with delicately spicy notes of black pepper, aromas of small dark berries, aromas of jam and floral nuances of violet.
The sip is agile and smooth, with juicy fruit and a fresh and spicy finish.
The Story
Merla della Miniera is prodiced in the hilly area between the sea and the mountains near the Ligurian Riviera di Levante and upper Tuscany. Lunigiana has an ancient history of viticulture and wine trade.
In Roman times, the ancient port of Luni was an important maritime hub, which allowed the development of the region and the agriculture of the area.
Terenzuola winery today cultivates around twenty hectares located in a hilly area, at an altitude of approximately 350 meters above sea level, planted with native vines that have always been present in these border lands. The proximity of the mountains and the sea creates a very particular microclimate, always mild and temperate, with good temperature variations between day and night, which favor the development of very elegant aromatic elements.
