The wine region of Ticino
Italian Switzerland, stronghold of Helvetic Merlot (~80% of plantings). Fleshy, refined reds with signature notes of ripe plum, black cherry, dark chocolate, leather and spices, round tannins and a velvety palate — often compared to the best Pomerol. Some cuvées vinified as Bianco di Merlot: original, ample whites (peach, citrus). Also native Bondola and Bordeaux blends.
The word of the wine: Yeast
Micro-organisms at the base of all fermentative processes. A wide variety of yeasts live and thrive naturally in the vineyard, provided that treatments do not destroy them. Unfortunately, their replacement by laboratory-selected yeasts is often the order of the day and contributes to the standardization of the wine. Yeasts are indeed involved in the development of certain aromas.
