The Merlot “RF” 2021 from Roberto Ferrari’s RF Selection is a single-varietal Merlot from the Vigneti delle Dolomiti in Alto Adige. This premium line is crafted only in outstanding vintages and reflects Ferrari’s personal signature. Merlot here offers ripe fruit, supple tannins and structured elegance, emphasized by cool nights and calcareous soils.
In the glass it appears medium ruby red with violet hues. Aromas of plum, black cherry and cassis are complemented by subtle spice and a faint smoky note. On the palate it is dry, full-bodied and velvety with refined tannins, balanced acidity and delicate minerality leading to a long, harmonious finish.
