The ‘Mercuria’ is based on the classic Bordelaise combo of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot - however, both varieties have a long-standing history of being grown in this corner of the Alto Adige and the Mercuria feels anything but a ‘modern’ or ‘international’ take on this well known blend. Rustic, leafy and mineral tinged, there is an unmistakable coolness that traces its way through a mid-weighted palate of blackberry, plum and cassis. Balsamic, sage and rolling tobacco lend savoriness while mineral vibrancy and a high-altitude tension provide the necessary lift - this is a wine that definitely comes into its own with a plate of hearty something so pop the bottle as you get started on dinner and enjoy.
