Description
Ventisquero Grey represents the complete expression of a single block of vines and pays homage to its place of origin. Hand-harvested, personally selected grapes, given exceptional care under the direct management of winemaker Felipe Tosso.
This Merlot demonstrates all the classic characteristics of this variety with great elegance. Intense red fruit, strawberries and ripe plum integrate delicately with chocolate and a hint of smokiness.
