Description

The Friuli Colli Orientali Merlot of the La Roncaia company is born in vineyards located in the municipality of Nimis, in the heart of the Friulian Hills.

It is produced with Merlot grapes in purity, harvested at the right ripeness and left to dry for 8 weeks. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature. Subsequently the wine ages for 16 months in barriques and in bottles, before being put on the market.

This Merlot is characterized by a ruby red color, with garnet reflections. The nose opens with complex and elegant herbaceous notes, enriched by intense hints of small red fruits. On the palate it is enveloping and warm, rightly tannic, with a good balance and good softness which prelude to a pleasant and persistent finish.

Perfect to combine with first courses and red meat dishes.
