A single vineyard bottling - typically made from Corvina, Rondinella, Cabernet Franc and supporting varieties - the Ca del Merlo is aged for seven years before bottling. It undergoes a second fermentation in contact with the lees of Quintarellis Amarone, in the Italian tradition of Ripasso, thereby utilising byproducts of the legendary latter to add a layer of complexity to the already high-quality base wine.
