Merlot Poliziano 'In Violas' 2020
Prompt delivery if you order before 15:30,
Poliziano's Merlot 'In Violas' was born from two inspirational factors: the establishment of the Cortona DOC in 1999, the immediate affirmation of the area as a suitable location for international grape varieties, and the friendship with the Aliotti Tommasi family, owners of excellent land. In 2006, convinced of the unique potential of Merlot grown in Cortona's Pliocene clays, we began bottling In Violas.
