Why the winemaker recommends Castel Sallegg Nussleiten Merlot Riserva Alto Adige DOC

A powerhouse. You don't notice its age at all. Not a hint of oxidation. This 100% Merlot Trentino, from the hills overlooking Lake Caldaro, has a deep garnet color. High potential..., for aging.

Characteristics of Nussleiten Riserva Castel Sallegg

Simply a *wow* wine, perfectly balanced and pleasant, full-bodied and rich, persistent for a long time with silky tannins and an overwhelming structure. Already accessible, it will continue to improve and is a solid value. Plums, elderberry and vanilla (24 months in barrique) immediately tease the nose, followed by hints of spices. On the palate it is warm, direct, dry, with an important tannin, a marked flavor and a light peppery vein. It needs good oxygenation to release the best of itself. Cheers.
