181 in Purezza is a single-varietal Toscana Rosso IGT made from 100% Merlot, grown on the estate's plots in Castagneto Carducci. Its name references the specific vineyard parcel used for this micro-vinification. The wine shows a clear, intense ruby-red color, complex aromas of flowers, ripe fruit, herbs and spice, and a soft, fresh, tannic and well-balanced palate.
181 in Purezza shows what Bolgheri Merlot can do on its own — plush and spicy, without needing Cabernet's structure to feel complete.
