Castellare di Castellina
Poggio ai Merli IGT Toscana
Tuscany showed to be a fantastic ground for Merlot vines, with renowned wines
all over the world like Masseto. This Merlot in purity of Castellare, thanks to the
strategic position of the vines, has a unique character you may find only in
the best International Merlot wines. And, once again, mainly for its elegance.
Since the first vintage has been defined a monument to excellent wines.
