Fantinel Merlot Friuli DOC Borgo Tesis 2024

Borgo Tesis is a single-variety Merlot from Fantinel, made in the Friuli Venezia Giulia hills and labelled Friuli DOC. This is the 2024 vintage. The grapes are selected to represent the best of the terroir, vinified in steel, then matured in oak barrels before bottling. In the glass it is ruby red with slight garnet reflections. The nose is intensely fruity, with spicier notes from the oak ageing behind. The palate is full, enveloping, very soft and well balanced, with a balanced aftertaste. It suits meat dishes, structured pasta sauces and medium-aged cheeses, and goes especially well with roast beef.
