Tuesday, September 28, 2021 - Querciabella tasting (Jeroboam HQ): Merlot, first vintage 2000, production 3.000 btl, average yield 25hl/ha
Alcoholic fermentation and malolactic convention took place in 3tn French oak casks, maceration for 18 days, maturation in French barriques for 12 months. Palafreno is bottled no sooner than 26 months after harvest

Compared to the 2016 tasted before, the wine shows more fruit, darker fruit, silky, dusty, more earthy and spicy, much more oaky and concentrated. Very different in style, shows more depth and complexity
In the palate, the wine shows the same profile as the nose, aggressive acidity and tannins (much like the 2016), earthy, the fruit is again darker, a few tobacco notes, prunes, medium body and medium to long finish
