Venica Merlot Collio 2019 750 ML

A historic French grape variety, Merlot was brought to Friuli-Venezia Giulia in 1869 by Count Teodoro de La Tour and soon became the region’s most popular red wine.Young, fruity and slightly herbaceous, with an harmonious bouquet ranging from berries, in particular blueberries and black currants, to violets, plums, cherries, tomato leaf, fennel and rhubarb. Some medicinal herbs such as mint and thyme can be perceived too and also a balsamic note that fades into pine. The clearly recognizable feature is an herbaceous background that permeates all the wine and blends wonderfully with the warmth of the fruit notes.
