Opera in Nero is our pure Merlot. By chance we discovered that some tricky clayey soil on a windy slope produced wonderful grapes to our surprise!
The result is a wine which combines the typical opulence ofthis grape variety with an unusual freshness and drinkability.
One glass always turns into two...or more...
Rigorous vineyard care, stringent yield management and meticulous selection are the key factors for the production of this amazing wine.
