This wine is from Italy, Veneto region, Veronese sub-region. Sansonina is a special project for Carla Zenato and her daughter Nadia. This unique, hand-crafted red is made entirely from Merlot grapes, which are harvested by hand in early September. The winery's name draws from the biblical hero, Samson, who was given superhuman strength. Adding โina' to a word in Italian is a diminutive term of endearment. This, Merlot becomes a powerful yet refined โLittle Samson.'. A balanced and refined red with plum, berry and cherry character. Hints of cocoa powder. Full body, fine tannins and a clean and racy finish. Drink now or hold.. Pair with with steak, grilled tenderloin, baby back ribs, or hearty veal stew.
ย 100% Merlot.
