About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

Cool, expansive soils support gradual, progressive ripening even during the hottest vintages. The wine’s character is also linked to rigorous vineyard practices.

Grapes

100% Merlot.

Vinification

The fruit is harvested at a relatively young stage to retain varietal purity, freshness and a lean profile while preserving substance. The wine then spends nine months in concrete tanks and/or terracotta amphorae.

Ageing

Nine months in concrete and/or terracotta are followed by six months in bottle.

Technical data

Average production is approximately 6,000 bottles.

Tasting profile

Liù is conceived around a pure expression of Merlot, combining freshness and a slender profile with depth and substance.
