Le Merle Merlot Valle d`Aosta DOP

A Merlot that surprises: From the Valle d'Aosta, one of Italy's coolest and smallest wine regions, comes a red wine with real depth and remarkable drinkability.

The Valle d'Aosta is nestled between Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn – viticulture under alpine conditions, on terraces and steep slopes that give the vines plenty of sun during the day and cool temperatures at night. These temperature differences are what give the Merlot its freshness and tension, which are rarely known from warmer growing regions.

On the nose, dark plum, wild cherry, lavender, and dried spices appear. The aging of 18 months in French barriques lays a subtle wood spice underneath without masking the fruit. On the palate, supple tannin, a present but well-integrated acidity, and a remarkable length on the finish – unusually dense for a Merlot from this altitude.

Find the right wine faster – with our picks

Row above the wines with the “Our picks” button open and three Super Tuscans

You can now find the right wine faster. Above the wines in every category there is one row that brings it all together: Our picks, Occasion, Goes with, Wine style, Filters and Sort by.

Row above the wines with Filters, Our picks, Goes with, Wine style, Bought before and Sort by; the "Our picks" button is open with "Super Tuscan" selected, next to it Tignanello, Le Volte and Le Serre Nuove

  • Our picks. The "Our picks" button comes first. Choose "Great value" to see wines that deliver more than their price suggests. Some of them have been recognised by Falstaff and other critics for exactly that, the others we have picked for you.
  • Super Tuscans. On the Tuscany page, "Our picks" also takes you to the red cult wines that deliberately broke with the old appellation rules: Tignanello, Ornellaia, Sassicaia, Le Volte, Guado al Tasso and many more, from the first step up to large formats.
  • One tap, one choice. Tap "Occasion", "Goes with" or "Wine style" and pick what you are looking for, such as "Aperitif & spritz" or "Fish". The button then shows what is currently selected.
  • Everything at a glance. Whatever you have selected appears right below. Tap the cross to remove it, or "Clear all" to remove everything at once.
  • Always at hand on your phone. The row stays at the top while you scroll, so you can change filters and sorting without scrolling back up.
  • Bought before. When you are logged in, the "Bought before" switch shows which wines in the category you have already bought from us, online or in the shop. Handy when you want to find a favourite again.
