18 Rene Gabriel
Aufhellendes Gelb, einen grünlichen Schimmer zeigend. Fein pfeffriges, erfrischendes Bouquet, mit zarten Agrumentönen gestützt, Mirabellen und trockene Akazienhonignoten, noch ganz feine Röstaromen im Untergrund aufweisend. Geradliniger Gaumen, schöner Nerv im Extrakt, mineralische Nuancen und im Finale mit viel klarer, aber auch reifer ChardonnayAromatik. Gutes Potential für locker 10 Jahre. (September 2013)
Producer
Castello Luigi
The ambitious, Luigi Zanini was one of the great leaders that contributed to the rebirth of Ticino Merlot during the 1980s. Realizing the potential that this region could bring to fine wines, the Swiss German native established Vinattieri Ticinesi in 1985, while his Castello Luigi was founded a couple years later in 1988. He was amongst the first in Ticino to utilize oak-barrel ageing for his Merlot. The harvesting and vinification methods are meticulously followed, with extra concentration taken to gather only the best perfectly ripen grapes. His wines today can even compete with some of the world’s leading producers, and in the best years – some can even surpass Bordeaux’s finest. Since 1997, both Vinattieri Ticinesi and Castello Luigi wines have been produced at the family’s newer estate. Located in Ligornetto, on the Swiss-Italian border, the state-of-the-art facilities follow gravity-flow specifications that preserve the quality of their grapes.
