Reviews:

• Wine Enthusiast: Year 2019 was one of the warmest in Switzerland; in fact, the fifth warmest since measurements began in 1864. The month of April regrettably saw plenty of rainfall, particularly on the south side of the Alps. This situation, however, allowed water to accumulate in the soil, which helped to get through a particularly hot summer without the vines suffering water stress. Ultimately, this resulted in grapes with an interesting aromatic bouquet and a good balance between acidity, minerality and structure.
  Production was unfortunately the second lowest ever.

Producer Information

The estate of Castello Luigi is close to the Italian border, in the village Besazio. The winery is located in a beautiful castle surrounded by its vineyards. The planting consists of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Chardonnay. Luigi Zanini offers two well-crafted wines of high quality. Castello Luigi is a relatively young winery which was purchased in 1988. With the purchase of an old farmhouse came a land of approximately 43.000 square meters, of which about 30.000 had the perfect soil for cultivating wine. After readying the three hectares of land for viticulture, Luigi Zanini dedicated two hectares to the cultivation of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, and one hectare to the production of Chardonnay.
