Castagnini – Merlo Candia dei Colli Apuani 2022
Castagnini – Merlo Candia dei Colli Apuani 2022, still red wine
Among the Apuan valleys, in a remote and uncontaminated area, only 5 hectares of vines and cultivated with passion and heroism. Heroic wine is an overused but necessary term in this case: dizzying slopes where machinery cannot access, constant and tiring work to obtain lush and healthy grapes. A unique, border territory that offers exciting and non-trivial wines.
The name MERLO originates from an ancient peasant tradition, linked to the vineyard from which it is produced, composed almost exclusively of Ciliegiolo. A black grape variety, native to Tuscany, quite early. In fact, towards mid-August, the Ciliegiolo bunches begin to color and, given the arid season and the proximity to the forest, the blackbirds begin to eat it, trying to quench their thirst. For protection, the rows are covered with nets to save the bunches of the vineyard called "VIGNA DEI MERLI".
