La Ricolma is made from 100% Merlot grapes especially seclected from prime vineyards and hand-picked when perfectly mature. It is fermented in stainless steel tanks for about 18 days, then racked and pressed. After it is racked once again, the wine is left to mature for 20-22 months in French oak barriques. It is bottled unfiltered and held in bottle for another 6 months before being released.

I had the 2012 in 2020. stronger than the L‘ Aperita but just great, deep, wonderful. 2012 was a difficult year but not for the Merlot which was harvested in September already.
