Top Notes For
Ceccherini Cristiano

17th harvest for Marco Merli in 2021(this is the mystery of the code explained)
Sangio 80% and 10% each of cab sauv and merlot
4 months ageing in barrel for a red that is fresh, plumpy and joyous
Spontaneous fermentation, unfiltered and minimal so2
It has a bliueberry fruit very evidentthat i would associate with the merlot rather than the sangiovese, and it is quite earthy too
Smooth tannin and inviting freshness
A good encounter
Quite long after taste too
