celeo
igt toscana rosso
A red wine in the tradition of the great Supertuscans. Celeo is, starting with its name, a tribute to the history of the area and to the Meregalli family, who believed in the potential of the Maremma: Cel, in ancient Etruscan, means earth, while Leo is the Latin word for lion, the family symbol that also appears in the constellation depicted on the label. Made only in the best vintages and produced in a limited edition, Celeo is a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, and expresses the nuances of this corner of Tuscany with class and power.

TASTING NOTES
It shows an intense, balanced and clear nose. Notes of blackberry juice, very evident blueberries, with that balsamic touch that is a company brand. The real differences is the gustatory phase: with very refined balances and a good percentage of freshness, tannins are only hinted at and well integrated into the magnificent progression of taste. The finish is sumptous for the persistence, pleasantness and integrity. Celèo is the iconic symbol of the important Tuscan red wine, to be opened on occasions and anniversaries. By showing off himself in his opulence and persuasive nature. Surprising to drink immediately but equally capable of long and rested aging.
