L'Iroso

24 months in barrique, zero compromise: a Merlot that leaves its mark

L’Iroso Puro is 100% Merlot, which comes from our vineyards on the clay and fossil-rich soil typical of the area of Terricciola, in the province of Pisa. Vinified in cement with long macerations and daily delestage, it then ages for 24 months in barriques of first, second and third passage. A work designed to achieve extraction, depth and tension, without covering the character of the fruit.

The nose expresses ripe red fruits, coffee, chocolate, black pepper and hints of leather. The palate is full, with polished tannins, lively freshness and a savoriness that makes it long, firm, never heavy.

The label takes inspiration from one of the portraits of the “Alienati” by Géricault: a face marked, direct, without masks. It is a visual reference to the instinctive nature of this wine: intense, unmediated, capable of expressing all it has to say.
