'The 1991 L' Apparita is another breathtaking wine. The result of a late harvest that stretched into early October (very late for Merlot), the 1991 dazzles all of the senses with its deep fruit and fabulous overall structure. Still deep, rich and intensely flavored, the 1991 will drink well for another decade, if not longer. Savory notes add shades of dimension on the authoritative, positively salivating finish. Marco Pallanti calls the 1991 L'Apparita his most Bordeaux-like wine.
(Antonio Galloni, vinous.com)
'L´Apparita is the first wine 100% Merlot produced in Tuscany. It is a cult wine since its first release 1985. The small parcels forming our single vineyard L´Apparita extend on an area of 3.84 hectares and they are located on top of Bellavista Vineyard. Vines were firstly planted in 1975 with Canaiolo and Malvasia Bianca. They have been replanted between 1982 and 1985 with Merlot, using the clone nr 342. The training system at Open Lyre and the soil particularly rich with clay make this small Cru a jewel of the international wine production.'
