Description
Still organic red wine from Friuli-Venezia Giulia, 13.5% ABV, produced by Le Vigne di Zamo. 100% Merlot, 2021 vintage. A Merlot made in Manzano, in the province of Udine, from vines over 50 years old. After careful selection in the older vineyards, the grapes macerate in truncated cone-shaped wooden vats for 20 days. Aged in barriques for approximately 18 months, followed by another 2 years in the bottle. The nose evokes red fruit, leather, cocoa, coffee, and spices in an enveloping overall sensation. A deep, intense ruby red color. On the palate, it is bold yet harmonious in its complexity of flavors and balanced in its acidity. Sensations of blackcurrant, black cherry, licorice, and cocoa are evident, along with impressive structure and persistence.

The company is fortunate to draw from three different terroirs that give the wines different and unique characters and personalities. The Zamò family has been cultivating the land for centuries: first the grandfather, then the father and finally the sons, all united under the same goal: cultivating the land and making wine as a sign of civilisation and respect for their origins and traditions,
In addition to great white wines, including Friulano and Ribolla Gialla, the company focuses on red wines to maintain the indigenous grape varieties and to pursue new projects and innovations. For years, the Zamò family has been conducting cultivation with sustainability-conscious methods, and in 2021 they obtained the first Certified Organic grape harvest. Read more
