Merlot IGT Marina Cvetic 2017 Terre Aquilane 0.75L

Luca Maroni: 93 points; Falstaff: 93 points
At 550 meters above sea level, Ofena is located in a foothill area overlooked by the Gran Sasso massif in the province of L'Aquila. The dramatic nighttime temperature range, the particular composition of the soil and the altitude spring forth in the high quality production of this jewel of the Masciarelli portfolio: fine, elegant and deep with a vibrant body, it tells the nose the typical aromatic range of the grape variety, from wild red fruits to tomato leaf, spices, licorice and leather.
