The red wine Ticino DOC Merlot Rubro, vintage 2012 from the winery Valsangiacomo Vini has been rated in 2017 by Ulrich Sautter with 92 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape variety Merlot from the region Canton of Ticino in Switzerland.
Initially reductive, needs a lot of air. Toasty wood, still closed fruit. On the palate with homogeneous pressure build-up, fleshy tannin with a hint of (positive) green tones, well-integrated acidity and structurally good length. Classic structure, unaffected and stylistically mature - but should be forgotten in the cellar for another five years or more.
