Merchant's description
First produced in 1985, `L`Apparita` is 100% Merlot produced from two small parcels of vines situated at the top of Castello di Ama`s celebrated Bellavista vineyard. On the nose, notes of red fruits and blackberry mingle with spicy, vanilla nuances. Silky on the palate with powerful tannins and a long, evolving finish.
