History
La Ricolma was developed in recent years as San Giusto a Rentennano’s pure Merlot project, aiming to express the terroir of Gaiole in Tuscany with biologically farmed vines. The 2022 grapes were harvested from September 22‑26 with low yields per vine. The wine was aged 22 months in 225‑liter wood barrels, with no filtration to preserve aromatic integrity and complexity. The 2022 vintage is already considered among Italy’s top Merlots for finesse and depth, receiving high critical acclaim.
