Buccella Merlot 2016

Art. # 1228
Howell Mountain rises to a height of over 700m, which protects the grapes from morning mists. The sunshine is a constant factor, but the climate is cool. So the grapes are smaller but with a concentrated color and tannin structure, dominating in the wine as well.

More about this wine

Buccella

Buccella

The 1990 Gaja Boutique meets and predetermines the wine destiny of Bill and Alicia of Buchela, Napa Valley, California. They choose this name of their winery because from Latin it means "full sip" and is an exact association with the multi-layered, density and concentration of their wines, which makes them so luxuriously rich and fragrant. They still keep the cork from their first bottle of wine - proof that their dreams are coming true.

Merlot

Southwest of France is Merlot’s birthplace - the regions of Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. Merlot is nowadays widely planted across the world much like Cabernet Sauvignon because it is an early maturing grape variety and because of its ability to ripen fully even in slightly cooler climates. Smooth, velvety, soft and rounded - an “easy drinking" wine with tender tannic structure - these are the common descriptions of Merlot wines.
