Bosco del Merlos Nono Miglio Cabernet Sauvignon 2024 brings the cool, elevated terroir of Veronas Lessinia hills into a refined, expressive red. The vines enjoy warm sunshine tempered by breezy evenings, helping Cabernet ripen with intensity while keeping natural acidity alive. Hand-harvested clusters were fermented with care to highlight purity of fruit and fermented on native yeasts in stainless steel before a period in neutral oak that smooths tannins without imposing wood flavors.
The wine opens with vibrant blackcurrant and ripe plum shaped by aromatic herbs and cedar spice. A gentle thread of gravelly minerality weaves through the mid-palate, creating balance and a lifted sense of place. The texture remains elegant, with fine grain tannins and a dry, satisfying finish that underscores the vintages freshness and Veronas cooler hillside influence. This is Cabernet with both approachability and depthdrinkable now yet structured enough to develop nuance over the next few years.
