Following the metaphorical principles of Ramon Llull‘s medieval "Ars Magna" table, our MERLOT can be described as "Sapientia" thanks to the genuine and direct rendering of its distinctive structure and diversity in terms of its notable qualities. The wine is made exclusively from a careful selection of the best clones of our Merlot that make every single vintage something very special. The unique, inimitable combination of factors such as the season, vine clone, soil, cultivation and vinification techniques transform the MERLOT ARS MAGNA into an intense tasting experience, a result of know-how and experience.
