This is a pure expression of Merlot with a soft, yielding and seductive approach. The 2015 Aleah (that is aged in oak for 18 months) offers dark fruit layers that are enhanced by spice, tobacco and cigar box. There are some distant herbal or balsamic notes as well. The vines enjoy excellent positioning at the top of a hill in San Casciano Val di Pesa just south of Florence. Some 3,000 bottles were made.
