  typical cepages from Valle d'Aosta (mainly local Merlot) which requires a long cellaring before delivering round and soft tasting. Pellerin confirms, even though it's been "elevè en fut de chene". So wait some other years before drinking

  6/6/2017 - Tim Heaton Likes this wine:

  {winery visit} I like a good Merlot (this is 100% Merlot); they're not so easy to find these days. This is a good Merlot, it's clean, pure, expressive; not jammy, juicy but not blowsy. It's red-fruited, balanced, with little/no chocolate character, it's mineral, it's fresh plum. It took all I could do (I had no way to transport) to leave the winery without 6 bottles. The barrique is already integrated, this will develop for the next 2 years, and then be in its preferred plateau after that. 13,5% abv. recommended+
