Merlot
Sansonina is a special project for Carla Zenato and her daughter Nadia. This unique, hand-crafted red is made entirely from old-vine Merlot and fermented in temperature-controlled wood uprights. The must remains in contact with the skins for fifteen days to allow for greater flavor concentration and color extraction. Sansonina is then aged eighteen months in seasoned Allier barriques and an additional year in bottle, for added finesse and integrated character.
Tasting Notes
Sansonina is a seductive wine. Deep ruby-red in color, this wine entices the senses with concentrated notes of crushed black cherry, currant, black pepper and tobacco. Broad, velvety and mouth-filling on the palate, it strikes a perfect balance between tannins and acidity.
Food Pairing
A flawless match with steak, grilled tenderloin, baby back ribs or hearty veal stew.
