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: Draft liquor (champagne)
After blending, the wine is bottled with a liqueur de tirage (a mixture of sugar and wine) and a yeast (selected yeasts). The yeast attacks the sugar and creates carbon dioxide. The fermentation, which lasts about two months, is prolonged by an ageing period (15 months minimum in total). The bottle is capped (some rare vintages are capped with a staple and a cork).
