A Swiss wine that is made through the blending of Merlot, naturally dried in fruit lofts after harvest, Marselan and Carminoir. It is born in the best ronchi of Ticino and is the result of our quest for maximum quality and uniqueness.

Intense ruby red in color, the aromas of this wine are very complex as withering is carried out on the Merlot variety.

We find notes of black currant, cassis, blueberry, violet, rose, nutmeg, fern and cedar with a lingering fine aftertaste. Prolonged aging in barrels enriches it with toasted aromas (clove, tobacco, vanilla and licorice).

The palate confirms its aromas with intensity and elegance. Structure and complexity ensure excellent aging.

Enjoyable within 6-9 years after bottling.

The grapes that make it up, come from old vineyards located on the hillside of Monte Carasso. The age of these ronchi of 45-50 years and the production limited to 600 gr/m2, allows for a raw material of excellent quality to be obtained

Alcoholic fermentation and subsequent maceration lasting 30 days. Aged in 225-liter French oak barrels for 24 months before bottling.

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.
