Intense pumping-over and careful control of tannin release, together with aging for 12 months, result in a smooth, powerful and fascinating wine.

Merlot, a black grape variety originating in Bordeaux, France, and introduced to Italy in the mid-19th century, has now become one of the most widely planted grape varieties in the world and is used in the production of many high-quality red wines.

Camminata Merlot Marchesi Ruffo is characterized by an intense ruby red color with garnet highlights. On the nose, there are intriguing notes of red fruit and tobacco, with a slight hint of vanilla in the background. In the mouth, the wine is powerful but balanced, with soft, smooth tannins and a slight spiciness that complements it.

The Camminata Merlot Marchesi Ruffo lends itself well to pairing with cured meats and aged cheeses, well-seasoned and savory red or white meat. Thanks to its structure and complexity, it can best enhance the typical dishes of Umbria and Italian cuisine in general.
