On the nose, it offers a well-defined aromatic profile with prominent notes of red fruit, hints of blackcurrant, morello cherry and plum, enhanced by delicate nuances of jam, coriander and macerated flowers. On the palate, it reveals a medium body, supported by a pleasant freshness and a well-integrated \u003cstrong\u003eearthy tannic texture\u003c\/strong\u003e. The tasting develops with elegance, finishing with a finale that recalls delightful \u003cstrong\u003efruity and floral notes\u003c\/strong\u003e of rose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Merlot originates in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, in the area of Sacile. The vines grow on well-drained \u003cstrong\u003eclay-limestone soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, a pedological condition that gives the wine expressive clarity and a defined structural identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins with \u003cstrong\u003efermentation in concrete\u003c\/strong\u003e at a controlled temperature, accompanied by maceration aimed at extracting colour and structure. Subsequently, spontaneous malolactic fermentation helps to soften the sip. Ageing is divided equally: one half rests in concrete to preserve the primary freshness, while the remaining part evolves for eight months in \u003cstrong\u003ebarrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, acquiring greater roundness. This process creates a harmonious red, ideal to pair with a tasty \u003cstrong\u003echeese board\u003c\/strong\u003e or meat dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn from the intuition of the Brandolini d’Adda family following an experience in Bordeaux, this \u003cstrong\u003epure Merlot\u003c\/strong\u003e demonstrates the estate’s true vocation. Since 1969, the Vistorta winery has produced this exclusive \u003cstrong\u003eFriuli DOC\u003c\/strong\u003e, combining the care of organic vineyards with the utmost attention to sustainability.
