2013 Avignonesi Desiderio Merlot Toscana IGT (Six Bottle Gift Box Set)

Each bottle of the 2013 Avignonesi Desiderio in this custom six bottle gift box has a different label that shows the progression of the label over the last 25 years of this wines production.  There are also posters of each label included in the box.

Desiderio was a bull which lived on Avignonesi’s Capezzine farm more than one hundred years ago. The largest bull in Tuscany at that time, this majestic animal helped define the Chianina cattle race, specific to the Bistecca Fiorentina. It came as a natural choice to dedicate this Merlot to the beloved bull as a testimony to the wines’ origin. This is Merlot from Tuscany at its best.

The iconic white bull is today an illustration of the vintage. There is more to the label than meets the eyes. Compare them with each other, and you will notice a few clues about the climate. Look at the sky, and you will understand whether it was cold, hot, or balanced and you can decipher many other hints.
