Produced only in exceptional vintages, “Rosso Rujno” is a blend of the Merlot (90%) and Cabernet Sauvignon. Undergoes a longer aging regimen: seven years in barrel, followed by seven years in bottle. Josko finds profound significance in the number seven; it is the number of years required for the human body’s cells to completely regenerate.

Merlot

The next time you hear someone say they never touch Merlot, tell them that it's too bad, because you were just about to open a few bottles of Château Pétrus and Le Pin, and you have no one to share them with.
