Description

Wine Enthusiast Review
Rated 93
On the nose, the sweetness of ripe berries, vanilla and mandarin blossoms is balanced by savory notes of crushed rocks, soil and tea leaves. The palate opens with blackberries and more citrus, then evolves into spices, earth, salt and pepper, even while staying tangy and fresh. The finish is warm, spicy and lingering.

Avignonesi Desiderio Merlot Toscana IGT 2021

A flagship Tuscan Merlot of power and polish, Avignonesi's 2021 Desiderio showcases the estate's biodynamic precision and the richness of Merlot grown in the clay-limestone soils of Cortona.
Named after the estate's legendary Chianina bull, this wine balances depth, elegance, and expressive fruit purity—one of Tuscany's most iconic Merlot-driven bottlings.
