Tasting notes
Allegretto is a classic medium-bodied single vineyard Merlot,from a warm microclimate, within a cool macroclimate.A wine that makes its presence known both on the nose and on the attack by walking on a tight rope between new world and old world qualities.Mostly integrated tannins with a slightly edgy feel and a melange of red and black fruit approach you with poise.Raw cacao nibs and wild desert herbs mingle with the fruit,delicate dusty notes
