About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

Fresh, expansive soils allow the grapes to mature gradually and progressively, including during particularly hot vintages. Rigorous agronomic practices support this measured development.

Grapes

100% Merlot.

Vinification

The wine spends 9 months in concrete tanks and terracotta amphorae.

Ageing

After its time in concrete and amphora, Liù receives 6 months of bottle ageing.

Technical data

Average production is 6,000 bottles.

Tasting profile

Liù is conceived around varietal purity, freshness, substance and a streamlined form. An intentionally young harvest preserves freshness while retaining depth and substance.
