Product Notes

Querciabella Palafreno Toscana is an opulent red wine crafted in Italy's esteemed Tuscana region. This Merlot's allure lies in its rich, deep hue, full-bodied texture, and complex taste profile. An exquisite bouquet reveals fragrant notes of ripe blackberries, plums, and earthy undertones. On the palate, it offers a harmonious blend of sweet tannins, subtle oakiness, and lingering mineral hints. Aged in French oak barrels, it builds depth and character on every sip. Querciabella Palafreno exudes a sophisticated charm, making it a supreme choice for wine connoisseurs seeking an authentic taste of Italian luxury.

Tasting Notes

Intense ruby red. Aromas of ripe red and black fruit: blackberry, black cherry, blueberry and plum. Notes of eucalyptus and rosemary, hints of white pepper and roasted coffee. On the palate, it is balanced with excellent freshness, present but well-integrated tannins. Intense and full-bodied with a very long finish reminiscent of blueberry and menthol notes.
