On the nose, it reveals \u003cstrong\u003eenveloping aromas of ripe red fruit\u003c\/strong\u003e, in a natural combination of complexity and finesse. On the palate, a pleasant freshness emerges, where harmony decisively prevails over power. Made from \u003cstrong\u003eMerlot\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes, it expresses \u003cstrong\u003eperfectly balanced tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e, offering an elegant, smooth and persistent sip. Ideal paired with flavourful meat dishes and mature cheeses, it delivers a structured and profound pleasure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis red originates in Erbusco, in the heart of \u003cstrong\u003eFranciacorta\u003c\/strong\u003e, Lombardy, and belongs to the \u003cstrong\u003eSebino\u003c\/strong\u003e denomination. It is produced by \u003cstrong\u003eCa’ del Bosco\u003c\/strong\u003e, a winery founded in the mid-1960s and now an absolute benchmark for the region. The soils of Brescia give the \u003cstrong\u003eMerlot\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes a \u003cstrong\u003edistinctly aromatic character\u003c\/strong\u003e that is immediately recognisable from the very first sip. The geographical identity of the area ensures a rigorous balance of flavour and a \u003cstrong\u003econsistently defined structure\u003c\/strong\u003e, capable of enhancing the climatic peculiarities and richness of the local soils.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter a rigorous manual selection in the vineyard, the bunches are destemmed and crushed, with the musts transferred by gravity. The \u003cstrong\u003etemperature-controlled fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e lasts eleven days and is followed by a post-fermentation maceration, for a total cycle of twenty-five days. After racking, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in \u003cstrong\u003esmall oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, mostly new. A careful \u003cstrong\u003eten-month maturation\u003c\/strong\u003e helps to soften the tannic texture and define the aromatic profile in perfect overall harmony.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in the renowned territory of Erbusco, the \u003cstrong\u003eSebino IGT\u003c\/strong\u003e from Ca’ del Bosco embodies the highest expression of Franciacorta elegance. Founded in the 1960s by Annamaria Clementi, the historic winery presents this superb 2015 vintage Merlot in purity, the result of a \u003cstrong\u003emeticulous manual selection\u003c\/strong\u003e of the grape bunches. The skilful vinification is completed with a noble ageing of ten months in \u003cstrong\u003esmall oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, which gives this still red wine extraordinary freshness, perfectly balanced tannins and a profound harmony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ca del Bosco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44746256777387,"sku":"54357","price":86.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/ca-del-bosco-ilmerlot-2015_54357_1_07f81d3d-400d-4be7-bbbf-739bf9a915d6.webp?v=1773746397","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/en-se\/products\/ca-del-bosco-ilmerlot-2015","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
