Merlot
Piave DOC

Merlot is one of the world’s most fruit-forward grapes, and this distinctive Treviso-area interpretation of the variety stands out for the magisterial interrelationship of its smooth mouthfeel and the complexity that it achieves through ageing in oak.

Sommelier notes

Tasting

It is dense and deep to the eye, its intense ruby red tending to deep blue. That same depth manifests itself on the nose as well, with optimally ripe, sweet red berry fruit and cherry. In the mouth, velvety tannins, a judicious acidity, and moderate alcohol all balance perfectly to yield a wine of extreme pleasure and definite longevity.

How to enjoy it

Food pairings

The ideal partner to this wine is red meats, and lighter sauces and stews, but it is excellent as well with medium-aged raw-milk cheeses. Enjoy best at 14-16°C.
