A bold and refined expression of Merlot from the heart of Valpolicella, the 2020 Clos Roareti is a single-vineyard wine of rare character and depth. Grown within the historic walled vineyard, Clos Roareti, this exceptional Merlot is sourced from deep red clay soils on a southwest-facing slope, where the variety has thrived since the late 1990s.

Produced only in the finest vintages, the 2020 harvest offered fruit of optimal ripeness, resulting in a wine of rich concentration and elegant structure. On the nose, it reveals layers of dark cherry, blackberry, and plum, intertwined with toasted oak, spice, and subtle earthiness. The palate is full-bodied and harmonious, with a silky tannin profile and a long, expressive finish that speaks to both varietal purity and thoughtful winemaking.

Clos Roareti stands apart from lighter regional Merlot styles, delivering a wine of depth, complexity, and longevity – a true showcase of site, soil, and selection.

Recommended with wild boar, venison, prime roast beef, meaty stews, and mature cheeses.

Ageing potential: up to 10 years
