Castellare Di Castellina Poggio ai Merli IGT

Castellare Di Castellina's Poggio ai Merli is a 100% Merlot expression from Chianti, Tuscany, showcasing the varietal's signature ripe dark-fruit character and approachable structure. The 2019 vintage delivers dominant plum and black cherry on the nose, supported by oak-derived vanilla and subtle spice from winemaking. Medium-full body and balanced tannins make this wine a natural companion to grilled red meats, braised beef, and tomato-based pasta dishes. Tertiary notes of earth and tobacco hint at Tuscan terroir complexity, positioning this as a food-friendly, everyday-premium red suitable for both casual dining and table service.
