Fasoli Gino Orgno
£65.00
Something very rare indeed. Made from Merlot that was originally planted on Fasoli Gino’s ‘Orgno’ vineyard/plot back in 1978. They discovered Merlot would grow well on their land and waited for years before releasing Orgno on the market until it reached the quality levels they demand. The old vine Merlot grapes are hand harvested and left to dry for 3 months for greater concentration of aromas and flavous. The wine is then fermented in French oak barrels for three years, followed by further bottle aging (this is a 2009 vintage). This exclusive velvety wine has a ruby red color with notes of ripe red fruits and hints of leather, truffles and liquorice. The tannins express themselves richly on the palate with great balance. The owner Natlino (in the video below) recommends enjoying Orgno at the end of nice meal or alongside red meats or stronger cheeses, and using a larger glass to experience this wine’s superb concentrated aromas.
