Merlot Ticino DOC L'ORA 2023

L’ORA – the wine of the perfect moment. A wine that speaks softly rather than loudly – created with patience, intuition and respect for the soul of Merlot. The result of a collaboration between Diego Martello Panno and Giuliano Cormano, it matured in the silence of the cellar to unfold its elegance and harmony at just the right moment. Its name recalls that special hour – when light, atmosphere and enjoyment merge into a single, perfect moment.

This elegant Merlot calls for dishes that highlight its velvety structure. We recommend a tender beef fillet with a red wine reduction or a creamy porcini mushroom risotto to perfectly accompany its ripe fruit aromas. A medium-aged Ticino mountain cheese also forms a wonderful harmony with this barrel-aged masterpiece.

L’ORA, with its plum and ripe cherry aromas, is lively and intense. Its bright ruby red colour promises immediate, pleasant drinking pleasure. But the real magic is revealed on the palate: the tannins glide with unexpected softness. L'Ora has a soul, an elegance that highlights the deepest and most typical characteristics of the Merlot grape.
