Merlot is the inseparable companion of Cabernet Sauvignon; the two vines integrate perfectly: the first giving the wine its full and early fruit, the second a greater aristocracy and longevity. In Bordeaux it is customary, depending on the area, to add a percentage of Cabernet Franc to the composition of the wine which, in addition to a fruity component, gives it pleasant herbaceous and vegetal sensations.
In Italy Merlot has found ideal environmental conditions in Friuli, Trentino and Veneto since the end of the nineteenth century, but it is now widespread in many other regions, with sometimes surprising results, even without the contribution of other grapes.

Wine Characteristics

The Merlot grape gives a wine with a more or less intense ruby ​​red color, with a fruity aroma and notes of red flowers. The flavor is quite tannic, soft, full-bodied.
