Ghizzano Nambrot Merlot 1997 - 0,75l

Ghizzano Nambrot Merlot 1997 is a rare, limited-release Tuscan red that shows Merlot at its most refined and expressive. Crafted from 100% Merlot and matured in bottle since vintage, it offers the depth, complexity, and elegance that make old-vintage wines so compelling. From Tenuta di Ghizzano in Tuscany, it carries the quiet prestige of a wine made for special occasions.

Tasting Notes
Deep garnet to brick-red in appearance, this wine reflects its age with grace while still retaining notable vibrancy. The nose opens with ripe dark fruit, spice, and tobacco, followed by subtler layers of vanilla, cocoa, and dried herbs. On the palate it is full-bodied and layered, with a supple yet structured texture. Tannins and acidity remain in fine balance, giving the wine freshness alongside its mature, complex profile. The finish is long, elegant, and marked by lingering notes of vanilla, chocolate, and savory spice. It is drinking beautifully now, though its bottle-aged character makes it especially rewarding for lovers of mature Bordeaux-style Merlot from Tuscany.

Production
Made from 100% Merlot in Tuscany, this wine comes from Tenuta di Ghizzano, where the region’s warm climate and balanced growing conditions help Merlot develop richness and aromatic depth. The 1997 vintage was released in very limited quantities and then aged in bottle, allowing the wine to evolve slowly and develop its tertiary complexity. This extended maturation has softened the structure and deepened the wine’s layered character.

Food & Serving
Best served with roasted red meats, game, braised dishes, or mature hard cheeses. For the best experience, serve at around 16–18°C and decant gently for 30–60 minutes if the bottle appears youthful in aroma or has settled sediment. If the wine is showing fully mature character, a careful opening and brief aeration may be all that is needed.
