Friuli Colli Orientali DOC Merlot Vigne Cinquant'anni 2019 Le Vigne di Zamò

Friuli Colli Orientali Merlot Vigne Cinquant'anni by Le Vigne di Zamò was born in vineyards located in the municipality of Manzano, in the Province of Udine.

It is produced exclusively with Merlot grapes, harvested and selected entirely by hand. Fermentation takes place, with maceration, in wooden vats and tonneaux open at controlled temperature for 20 days. After malolactic fermentation in barrique, the wine ages in the same containers for 18 months, followed by further ageing of 2 months in large vats and 24 months in bottle, before being released onto the market.

Merlot Vigne Cinquant'anni is characterized by an intense and deep ruby red colour. The nose opens with aromas of red fruit, leather and cocoa, enriched with hints of coffee and spices. On the palate it is harmonious and structured, with excellent persistence.

Perfect to accompany wild game and grilled red meat, this wine is ideal in combination with very mature cheeses.
