Torre Rosazza Altromerlot 2018

In 1987, Torre Rosazza had the idea to produce a wine different from what the local tradition of the time proposed. The wine "Altromerlot" was probably the first wine to be aged for a long time in French oak barrels. The Italian word "altro" stands for "different" because it differed from the Merlot that could be tasted at the time. Now the Altromerlot is recognised as being one of the cutting-edge wines of Friuli-Venezia Giulia in terms of elegance.

Colour

Deep ruby red.

Bouquet

Delicate aromas of small red berries and blueberries with hints of moss and wood.

Flavour

The tannin of the wine is immediately noticeable in the mouth, of which elegance is the most distinctive attribute. This wine fills the palate with its softness and recalls red fruit jam before turning into discreet hints of wood.

Pairing

Despite its full-bodied structure, it pairs well with fine and light dishes as well as with winter soups, legume soups, and tasty meats.
