While we were delaying the pickings, going again and again over the vineyards we would pass by a patch of about an acre of Merlot sitting undernourished on a mould of clay, with it's small hard berries almost isolated in the sun. <p>The days got colder , but we went on, keeping that patch "for later", we picked it in November. With some other tiny late-harvested parcels, it produced this concentrated and elegant Tenuta di Trinoro 2004.
