Grape Variety: Blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon
Alcohol Content: 14% Vol.
Recommended Serving Temperature: 16°C
Michelangiolo is born from a masterful balance between Merlot and Cabernet. The grapes, carefully hand-picked, are meticulously selected on the sorting table, then gently destemmed and crushed. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats to preserve the wine’s aromatic purity and original freshness.
Aging: The wine matures for 16 months in barriques and tonneaux, followed by an additional 6 months in cement tanks—a process that imparts structure, harmony, and a refined yet balanced character.
Tasting Profile: On the nose, Michelangiolo is an olfactory journey between elegance and intensity. It opens with delicate floral notes of violet and hibiscus, followed by fruity tones of marasca cherry, wild strawberry, and blueberry. Hints of dark chocolate and a balsamic touch of licorice enrich the bouquet. On the palate, it is deep and enveloping, with a well-defined minerality and silky tannins that accompany the sip to a long, refined finish.
Food Pairings: Perfect with dishes of great character: truffle risotto, roast lamb, stewed or grilled game, and aged cheeses such as Tuscan pecorino.
