Terlano “Siebeneich” Merlot Alto Adige DOC Riserva 2021 – Country: Italy – Capacity: 0.75 Terlano This Merlot, which grows best in warm, south-facing areas where the soil is clayey, is a full-bodied red wine that is particularly impressive for its finesse. This is explained by Rudi Kofler, oenologist at the Terlan Winery, who really knows his stuff about South Tyrolean wines. The subject is the good Siebeneich, Merlot dell’Alto Adige DOC Riserva, which comes from a careful selection of grapes grown by the winery’s members. A long-lived and complex red, as is the style of the fine Terlan winery, this wine owes everything to the special characteristics of the area’s soils, which are rich in minerals that provide positive stabilising effects and give the wines freshness and character. Sparkling ruby red in colour, the nose reveals intense and pleasant aromas. The fruity notes of blackberry and cranberry are complemented by aromas of herbs such as mint and eucalyptus, enriched by a veil of black pepper. In the mouth, then, one discovers a pleasantly tannic wine, with a complex structure and a lingering aftertaste.
