Maculan Brentino Merlot Cabernet Breganze Doc 2021 Italy

VinoUS Media Review Rated 90 The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot Brentino is perfumed and highly aromatic, with a burst of dusty rose and lavender giving way to crushed blackberries and a whi of orange zest. Seamlessly silky and soothing, this washes across the palate with ripe wild berry fruits, underscored by saline minerals and hints of spice. It leaves the mouth watering for more while nishing long and staining, with a pleasantly bitter twang that keeps me looking back to the glass for more. The 2021 aims to please!
