BRAND: LASTELLA WINERY
ORIGIN: CANADA
PRODUCT 1: LASTELLA MAESTOSO “SOLO” MERLOT
STYLE: RED
TASTING NOTES: Maestoso is our flagship wine and the jewel in the crown of LaStella. Silk Gloves come on, no expense is spared, and we pull no punches. Maestoso is the reason we get out of bed at the crack of dawn and continue the back- breaking work until late in the evening. Maestoso is always opaque in color and 2020 is no different. On the nose, one finds pronounced notes of mostly black fruit: black bramble, dark cocoa, black cherries, forest floor, and cured tobacco leaves.

This style of Rosato will complement any hot summer day on the patio or by the poolside. The cabernet franc adds some beautiful spice and herbal notes, Sangiovese brings with it those classic bing cherry notes while the Merlot provides a melange of red and dark fruit notes.
