Showing a deep black color and lots of rich concentration, the 2019 Merlot Cabernet Franc Altrovino offers a seamless, vinous quality that allows the wine to glide smoothly over the palate. The texture and mouthfeel of this organic and biodynamic wine are what stand apart, and there is nice freshness to match. Winemaking is in terracotta amphorae, a vessel that winemaker Luca D'Attoma has fully mastered.
