Castello di Ama Merlot l’Apparita 2017

L’Apparita was Tuscany’s first pure Merlot and has been a cult wine since its very first vintage, in 1985. The small parcels that make up the 3.84 hectares of the L’Apparita vineyard are set atop the Vigneto Bellavista hill, at an altitude di 490 metres asl. In 1975 they were planted with Canaiolo and Malvasia Bianca, then grafted over with Merlot clone 342 between 1982 and 1985.
