Torre Rosazza Altromerlot 2019 Friuli Colli Orientali Merlot DOC

A Merlot from Torre Rosazza in Friuli Colli Orientali, first conceived in 1987 as a red matured for at least two years in barrique, which was a new idea in a region used to fresh, easy-drinking reds. It is an uncompromising Merlot, elegant and distinctive in finesse and body. Deep, lively ruby red, it shows delicate aromas of small red berries, cherries and blueberries, then a hint of moss. The palate is rich, soft and enveloping, with oak tones and very good persistence. It suits savoury soups and pulse soups, as well as roasts and mixed grills.
