A first of its kind, a world premiere!

An original Merlot wine from Italian Switzerland made exclusively from white grapes.

A long and meticulous work, which began ten years ago and strongly desired by the will and intuition of Angelo Delea, who, thanks to the valuable collaboration with our French rootstock supplier, studied and found about a hundred seedlings that offered the possibility of planting them over the years in our vineyards. A cross between FOLLE BLANCHE ET MERLOT NOIR. It took about 10 years to develop this ambitious project, for which the first vines were planted thanks to the enthusiasm and participation of numerous hoteliers MICE Project, implemented and sponsored thanks to the valuable cooperation of TICINO CONVENTION BUREAU.

A wine that will soon appeal to Ticino wine lovers and customers. Three years to start growing rooted cuttings and propagating them with mature scions. And so we achieved a production of about 4,000 vines year after year, enough to produce the first 4,000 bottles for the 2022 vintage.

A fine, versatile and unique white wine.

Alcoholic fermentation in 300-liter French oak barrels and aging for 12 months.

In the mouth it is immediately assertive with a taut and vibrant start, then closes tighter with a nice spicy and persistent finish.

The nose opens with notes of white flowers, citrus (bergamot) and then develops with more mature notes of white peach and candied sugar.
