About

Avignonesi Toscana IGT Desiderio 2020 is a dry red wine crafted from predominantly Merlot grapes, sourced from the esteemed Toscana region in Italy. This wine embodies the elegance and richness of Tuscan Merlot, paying tribute to the estate's historic bull, Desiderio, a symbol of strength and character. Avignonesi’s commitment to organic and biodynamic farming ensures a pure expression of the terroir, resulting in a wine that balances power and finesse.

Producer

Winery named after the first owners - the Avignonesi family. Since its foundation, it has experienced an exciting journey. Virginia Saverisa acquired the Avignonesi distillery in 2009. Avignonesi has become a leader in biodynamic viticulture in Italy. Since its acquisition, and thanks to Virginia's respect for the ecosystem, its employees and end consumers, the winery has begun to produce and make organic wines that are truly authentic in their origins.

Tasting notes

Avignonesi Toscana IGT Desiderio 2020 reveals an intense bouquet of ripe blackberries, plums, and dark cherries, layered with hints of violet, mocha, and sweet spices. On the palate, it is full-bodied and velvety, offering a rich concentration of dark fruit flavors, refined tannins, and a touch of toasted oak. The finish is long and elegant, with lingering notes of cocoa, vanilla, and a whisper of Mediterranean herbs.

Pairing

This Merlot pairs beautifully with grilled steak, roasted lamb, and hearty mushroom-based dishes, complementing their depth and richness. It also enhances aged cheeses like Pecorino Toscano, creating a sophisticated and indulgent dining experience.

Merlot can produce red wines from medium to full-bodied, with rich but smooth and rounded tannins. Young merlot wine is dominated by aromas of blackberry, raspberry, violet and wild plum, but with aging it can develop aromas of figs, chocolate, leather and truffle.

Toscana

All products from this region

The hilly terrain and warm climate make Tuscany an ideal region for winemaking. It ranks third by the amount DOC and DOCG category wines after Piemonte and Veneto. Currently the most popular variety is the noble Sangiovese - it is extremely thermophilic and successfully reveals its best traits in warm climates. Wines have a lovely structure, velvety tannins and a fruity aroma, the color is rich ruby red, but the most distinguishable flavor notes are cherries, raspberries and spices.
