Bright ruby in colour this is a soft, expressive Merlot from the Central Valley in Chile. Easy-drinking enough to drink on its own but will also work well with a Sunday roast.

Not much to touch this in the Pinot Noir stakes for under a tenner. Lots of fresh Berry Fruit with soft spicy notes. A great finish and will pair well with light pasta dishes and tomato based sauces.

•Red wine / Barbera 100% •Vineyard exposed to South •Soft pressing of the grapes; fermentation with maceration of the skin for 12 days in steel tank. •After malolactic fermentation, aged in steel tanks for 8 months and 12 months in big oak barre; refinement in the bottle of 6 months before selling •maximum expression of Barbera: every time you close the nose it discovers something different, a very complex fruity (blackberry, plum and cherry) and spicy wine (nutmeg, cocoa, tobacco and leather) with long and well-balanced aftertaste. •3000 bottles DVino Says - Worth the money on the nose alone! Only made in the very best years this beautifully aged Barbera rests for ten months in steel tank before a further 8 months in oak. This is the maximum expression of Barbera. Sourced exclusively from a tiny independent importer, with fewer than 250 cases produced annually. Very Special.
