This red wine represents the pure expression of the Merlot grape variety of Canton Ticino, vinified with respect for its varietal characters. The grapes come solely from our vineyards and represent the essence of the Swiss Sopraceneri ‘terroir’.

Ruby red color, with notes of cherry, plum and blueberry on the nose.
The palate is expressed with smoothness, harmony and a beautiful freshness, typical of Merlot from Ticino. Silky tannins make it a very balanced wine.

Enjoyable in 2-3 years after bottling.

It is made only from Merlot grapes from the best vineyards in the Sopraceneri region. The same are located in different municipalities from Gordola to Giornico with important soil and climate differences.

Alcoholic fermentation and subsequent maceration lasting 14 days. Aged in stainless steel barrels for 12 months.

The company Settemaggio

We are farmers and winemakers; people who have inherited the noble art of working and living off the land. We are constantly working and experimenting, searching for more and better products, in the unavoidable respect for the balance between man’s work and nature. This is our story! We inherit the passion of agriculture and viticulture from our grandparents Carolina and Ettore who already from the 1930s onward were dedicated to the cultivation of vines and various crops (tobacco, potatoes, green beans, cereals) as well as raising cows to produce milk and cheese. Settemaggio is the birth date of Raphael (the youngest of the three brothers), hence the inspiration for this fascinating name.
