Garnet red, with herbaceous aromas, the Shore of the Basalts by Natalina Grandi has an elegant mouthfeel and structured and soft tannins at the same time, with a hint of French oak wood. Balanced, delicate and persistent taste, it's great with meat.
With medium-sized leaf, five-lobed; the pyramidal, semi-sparse, winged bunch and the berry of variable size due to the difficulty of pollination. Merlot has a very resistant, dark blue skin, in this wine is coming from the foothills, in the Giaroni area.
The grapes are dried for about a month to give the palate a rounder taste, reducing the herbaceous flavour. The 2019 harvest rested for a year in 5hl French oak barriques and was combined with the 2020 vintage. Riva dei Basalti is made up of a barrique part and a steel part.
