From Matthew Fioretti, the celebrated winemaker at the cult Cerbaiona estate, the 2019 “San Vito” is a stunning, single-parcel expression of pure Merlot. This wine brilliantly showcases Fioretti’s meticulous, small-batch approach, aging 60% in new oak and 40% in amphora, creating a wine of remarkable dimension. The nose is deep and expressive, with aromas of dark cherry and black plum, woven with sophisticated notes of graphite, tobacco, and a hint of smoky spice. On the palate, it’s rich yet incredibly refined, with a silky, seamless texture and polished, well-integrated tannins. The finish is exceptionally long and aromatic, echoing with notes of dark fruit and mineral. A powerful, elegant Tuscan Merlot with a singular, artisanal soul.
