Vineyard notes: "Two parcels at the top of the Bellavista vineyard comprise the L’Apparita cru. Vines were firstly planted in 1975 with Canaiolo and Malvasia Bianca, they have been replanted in 1982 with Merlot, using the clone nr 342. The open-lyre training system and the predominately clay soil make this cru a crown jewel in world winemaking. Since the first vintage, this wine has maintained its unique expression in which the distinguishing features of Merlot are elevated by the terroir of Ama. Exposure: North-South. Soil: Calcareous with clay. Altitude: 490 meters above sea level. Training system: Open Lyre."

The vinification started using ambient yeasts, in steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 30/33°, with manual pumpovers and a total cuvaison of 28 days. After the first racking, the wine was transferred into steel tanks for the malolactic fermentation.

When to drink: 2017 to 2033
2013 Vintage
Tasted: Apr 2019
Tinto elaborado exclusivamente a partir de Merlot, com estágio de 18 meses em barricas de carvalho francês, sendo 50% novas. Mostra sedutoras notas florais envolvendo os aromas de frutas negras e vermelhas de perfil mais fresco. Preciso, compacto e refinado, tem acidez vibrante, taninos de excelente textura e final muito longo, com toques minerais e de couro. Consegue de modo sutil, quase delicado, mostrar a exuberância e o lado frutado da Merlot sem comprometer sua força e sua intensidade. Álcool 13,5%.
2013 Vintage
Tasted: Dec 2017
When to drink: 2018
to 2025
1985 der erste reinsortige Merlot der Toskana von einem Rebberg in 500 Meter Meereshöhe, mazeriert 26 Tage auf den Schalen und reift 15 Monate in französischer Eiche. Verführerisch komplexe Nase, am Gaumen charaktervoll und doch voller Eleganz, ellenlang das Finale. Grosser Wein.
2013 Vintage
Tasted: Feb 2017
Shimmering, intense ruby. Very fragrant and intense fruit of blackberry and plums, some tobacco, bay leaf in the background. On the palate polished and precise, lots of juicy fruit, then opens with precise tannin, complex and deep, reverberates on the palate for a long time; depth and elegance.
2013 Vintage
Tasted: Jul 2016
A gorgeous red with blackberry, cherry and blueberry character throughout. Medium body, ultra-fine tannins and a fresh finish. Vigorous and vibrant. Gorgeous pure merlot as always. Built for aging but pretty to drink now.

Vintage quality: Excellent
Current condition: Ready to drink, will keep
For Tuscany, the 2013 vintage was superb.
The spring was on the cool side and extremely wet which provided ripe conditions for an unwelcome rise in downy mildew, the heavy rains also delayed budburst. As a result of the twin threats, some producers suffer...
