Description
Still red wine from Friuli-Venezia Giulia, 14% ABV, 100% Merlot, produced by Vie di Romans. 0.75 L bottle, 2018 vintage. A Merlot that embodies the passion and experience of the Gallo family, with a history dating back to 1900. Aged for 19 months in barriques and 8 months in stainless steel tanks.

The deep soil has two distinct layers: the surface layer is slightly acidic clay, free of rocks and decalcified, while the deeper layer is silty, sandy, calcareous, rich in dolomite and calcareous minerals.
