Merlot Filip 2020 Cantina Miani
Merlot Filip from Cantina Miani is a captivating ruby red, with garnet nuances, a dense, impenetrable texture that lingers in the glass. The nose unfolds with ripe black and red fruits like blueberry, raspberry, and currant, accompanied by a broad range of vegetal and spicy notes. Medicinal herbs, cinnamon, tobacco leaf, chocolate, white pepper, and vanilla create a horizontal and enveloping bouquet, with subtle mineral hints contributing an earthy touch.
The palate reveals a silky and powerful entrance, with well-balanced alcohol and gentle yet present tannins. A buttery caress envelops the palate, balanced by excellent freshness and pleasant salinity. Balanced, refined, and of unparalleled harmony, this 2013 Merlot Filip Miani leaves an indelible memory. The deep ruby red color unveils itself in the glass, accompanied by intense aromas of ripe berries, spices, and balsamic notes of mint and eucalyptus.
The taste is powerful, rich in smoothness, with balanced tannins, offering a enveloping and juicy experience. This wine is a true rarity, a testament to the passion, dedication, and uncompromising approach of producer Enzo Pontoni. Its purity in winemaking and 30-month aging in barrique contribute to the Merlot Filip's distinct and extraordinary identity, making it an authentic oenological gem.
