Colli Orientali del Friuli – Merlot – Ronco delle Betulle – 2021

The Merlot of the Ronco delle Betulle winery

The Merlot of the Ronco delle Betulle winery is produced with 100% Merlot grapes grown in the vineyards owned by the winery that are located in the territory of Rosazzo in Friuli Venezia Giulia.

THE WINEMAKING

The harvest is strictly manual. Once in the cellar, the grapes are de-stemmed, cooled and left to macerate at a controlled temperature for about 15 days. After a soft pressing, the wine ages for 14 to 18 months in large oak barrels and tonneaux. After being assembled and bottled without filtration, the wine rests for a few months in the cellar before being placed on the market.

Tasting the wine of the winery

Intense ruby red. The aroma is elegant, with pleasant hints of red fruits alternating with herbaceous notes. Soft on the palate with an important structure where the tannins are well evident, well-integrated, and sweet. Excellent correspondence between aroma and flavour. Very persistent.

FOOD PAIRINGS

Ideal with red meat, game and hard cheeses. A must try with your barbecue
