This wine has improved over the last 18 months... Sweet balsamic flavor with strawberry fruit that has become riper, more fleshy and juicy. Milk chocolate notes as well. Not especially complex, it is still balanced and pleasing. I liked this wine and based on this tasting wish I had a few more bottles. Drink now.

Strawberry, balsamic, and a touch of eucalyptus. Castello di Amorosa is still more interesting to visit for its architecture than it is for its wines, but I did like this Merlot.

Fairly complex for a merlot. Earthy tones and and almost raisinessque finish.

Medium body, ruby color, hints of coffee and pepper with a subtle cocoa finish. Enjoyed with breaded and baked pork chops.

Initially a nose of tar, turning later to chocolate. Fruity palate with a short finish.
