Cantina Mendrisio Gioia 2023, Switzerland

Here is a unique Merlot for #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!

Pale gold in color.

The nose reminds me of a Sauvignon Blanc with a touch of Chardonnay.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with mild complexity.

Showing citrus, green apples, grapefruits, bitter herbs and spices.

Tangy finish with limes and light almonds.

Easy drinking and good by itself or with food. Nicely balanced and elegant.

A blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Chardonnay. Aged in concrete vats on the lees for 6 months.

12.3% alcohol by volume.

89 points.

60% Nebbiolo, 30% barbera, 5% uva rara, 5% Vespolina. Light, low in alcohol, fresh and fruity. Really a joy to quaf. Would be great summer red. Having it with two Berkshire pork chops braised in wine and Marsala. — a year ago

This is a delight, cigar box, prunes and black fruits on the nose. The balance between the negroamaro and the malvasisa is spot on and both are used to give the right balance.
I think this is a great example of Puglian wine and what a good producer can create here. #dont get me wrong a Bordeaux cru classe this is not, but a good wine and a great example of the region it is. — 10 months ago

Falanghina is as flexible as it gets, pears, apricots, jasmine. Acidity to carry the bubbles. Light and structured. — a year ago
