Gant Merlot Riserva DOC Magnum 1.5L

The Gant is the Riserva Merlot from Cantina Andrian – a South Tyrolean red wine that needs time and rewards it: dense, dark, with real depth.

Cantina Andrian is located in the Adige Valley north of Bolzano, where the alpine climate meets Mediterranean warmth. The high altitude ensures cool nights, which impart structure and freshness to the wine – unusual for Merlot, but typical for South Tyrol. The Riserva classification signifies extended aging in the cellar before the bottle leaves the winery.

In the glass, it displays a deep ruby ​​red with a garnet rim. The nose offers ripe plum, blackcurrant, and a hint of dried prune – concentrated, yet not heavy. On the palate, it has a dense body with firm but well-integrated tannins that leave room for further development. The finish is long, spicy, and pleasantly warming.

Drinking recommendation: Ready to drink now, but will continue to develop until 2029+. Serving temperature 16–18 °C. Pairs well with braised beef, venison ragù on pappardelle or pecorino stagionato.
