Sansonina (Lugana and Merlot) is a strictly limited and very ambitious project by the Zenato family, in which only the best grapes from their own vineyards are used. Only a small number of these are sold in numbered bottles each year.

An almost textbook bouquet of a slightly mature Merlot with dark fruit depth and beautiful notes of graphite and flint. Warm and soft on the palate, yet powerful, very precise and dry, with plenty of dark cherries and a fine sweet spiciness. You can literally feel the Lake Garda climate in its fresh and extremely harmonious character and you can look forward to further years of ageing in the bottle! SUPERIORE.DE

"Elegant, bright ruby red colour. Forest berries, ripe raspberries, rose hip tea on the nose, with fine light spices, cold smoke and a milk chocolate aftertaste. Beautifully juicy on the palate, elegant on the tongue, precise, with a certain elegance, also slightly salty, good length, pleasant pressure on the final." Falstaff

"Lush blackberries, dark cherries, ground spices and hints of wet stones. Firm and textured, with a medium body and ripe, velvety tannins. It’s succulent with good fruit concentration in the middle and a lively aftertaste." James Suckling
