Intense, rubin red in colour, its bouquet is delicate and persistent, with a slight scent of wild fruits; the taste is fullbodied, harmonious and round.

Wine Enthusiast Desiderio is an outstandingly delicious Merlot from Cortona with a soft, yielding personality and loads of sweet cherry-berry nuances. The wine boasts excellent complexity thanks to the playful notes of peppermint, herbs, root beer and cola that give it undying persistency and intensity. Score: 95. —Monica Larner, April 01, 2008.

Wine Spectator Very attractive aromas of coffee, milk chocolate and fruit follow through to a full-bodied palate, with soft tannins and a lively, crisp, fruity aftertaste. Already hard to resist, but give it a little bottle age to come around. Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best after 2008. 3,500 cases made. Score: 90. —James Suckling, October 31, 2007.
