Querceto di Castellina Podalirio 2018
Variety: Merlot
Named after the striking Podalirio species of butterflies (also known as Swallowtail), our single-varietal Merlot made its introduction to our range of wines back in 1999. This is a terroir-driven Merlot that surely gets more beautiful with age.
An intelligent and refreshing Merlot, somewhat out of the ordinary yet classically smooth and easy drinking. The tannins feel active and firm and hold tightly onto the opulent black fruit creating shape and balance. Acidity is taut and contributes a sensation of lightness and lift. An excellent match for roasted vegetables, gamey meats and dishes using sweet spices.
Aging: 18 months French oak (225 lt.), 12 months in the bottle

This wine was first produced in 1999 as a blend of Sangiovese and Merlot. Since 2005, Querceto di Castellina Podalirio is made solely with the French variety to better fit the terroir, not to mention, express its full potential and purity. “Iphiclides Podalirio” is the scientific name of a kind of butterfly with pale yellow wings and black stripes that is found throughout the Querceto estate.
