Avignonesi Desiderio Merlot

Desiderio was a bull which lived on Avignonesi’s Capezzine farm more than a hundred years ago and was the largest bull in Tuscany at that time. The animal helped define the Chianina cattle race, specific to the Bistecca Fiorentina, and it came as a natural choice for Avignonesi to dedicate this Merlot to their beloved bull as a testimony to the wines’ origin. The illustration changes from vintage to vintage to reflect the years growing season or even a new birth in the Savery family? (Spot the pink bow!)

A robust Merlot with a real punch on the nose followed up with cherries and plums, black tea and spice. A favourite of the team when we visited the winery in October 20323.
