What it tastes like

A plush, full-bodied Merlot with layers of ripe black cherry, plum, and blackberry. Hints of chocolate, vanilla, and tobacco add complexity, while polished tannins and a long, savory finish showcase its elegance.

The grape

Merlot

Best known in Bordeaux, Italy, Chile

Soft, round and approachable. Plum, black cherry and chocolate, with gentle tannins and a plush texture. It leads the blends of Bordeaux's Right Bank, including Pomerol and Saint-Émilion, and makes generous, easy-drinking reds all over the world.

Where it's from

Tuscany

Italy

Italy's most celebrated wine region. Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano — all Sangiovese, all distinct. The Super Tuscans broke the rules in the 1970s and created an entirely new style. Hills, cypress trees, and wine that belongs on the table.

The story behind it

Crafted from 100% Merlot grown on clay and pebbly soils in Tuscany's Maremma region, Redigaffi has been a cult favourite since its debut in 1994. The 2018 vintage benefited from a long growing season, allowing the grapes to achieve optimal ripeness and complexity. 

If you like these, you'll love this: Masseto, Château Pétrus, or Napa Valley Merlot.
