2015 Barone Ricasoli Casalferro

The 2015 Casalferro, 100% Merlot, is bold, racy and quite delicious. There is not a ton of varietal character, but the wine is very nicely balanced and harmonious just the same.

This is pure and silky, boasting cherry, raspberry, peony and spice flavors. Intense and harmonious, picking up accents of chocolate, tobacco and mineral on the lingering finish. Merlot.

A pure expression of Merlot, the 2015 Casalferro is a velvety and deeply enriched red wine. The magical forces of sunny Tuscany and exuberant Merlot are combined here to produce a wine of intensity and sweet softness. It caresses the palate, thanks to the softness and the succulent nature of its texture. The warm 2015 vintage also leaves its mark in terms of concentration and richness. Some 23,700 bottles were produced.
