Tasting Notes
The 2015 Bianco Rovere from Brivio is elegant, complex and intense.
The nose shows delicate flower nuances, notes of exotic and citrus fruits. I also find hints of vanilla and some herbaceous nuances.
On the palate the texture is smooth and rich. This bottle is fruity and fresh and has a good structure.
Mineral and persistent at the finish. Very good balance.

Merlot
Dark blue-colored variety of wine-making grape
Merlot is a dark blue–colored wine grape variety that can be used to produce both blending and varietal wines. Merlot is thought to be a diminutive of merle, the French word for a blackbird, which is most likely a reference to the grape’s color. Merlot is a common grape for blending with the sterner, later-ripening Cabernet Sauvignon, which appears to be higher in tannin, due to its softness and “fleshiness” combined with its earlier ripening.

Swiss wine is made on approximately 15,000 hectares of vineyards in the cantons of Geneva, Neuchâtel, Ticino, Valais, and Vaud, and is primarily grown in the west and south of the country. On 42 percent of the country’s vineyard surface, white grape varieties are grown, while red grape varieties are grown on 58 percent.
