From vineyard to bottle

The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.

An accessible Italian Merlot with juicy cherry fruit and a smooth, soft finish. What style does Il Cigno Merlot have? Medium-bodied, fruit-driven, and slightly spicy, it's the kind of wine you'll pour again without a second thought.

The grapes come from Italy, Abruzzo, from the IGT Terre di Chieti. This is a selection within the Walraven Sax line, focused on pure, ripe fruit and drinkability.

Modern vinification, aged in stainless steel, preserves the red fruit's brightness and maintains the wine's fresh signature. The ripe character remains beautifully balanced thanks to the light, pleasant structure. Alcohol 12.5%.

Merlot – Terre di Chieti
100% Merlot. Juicy, smooth, and accessible, with an emphasis on cherries and a hint of spice.
