Curation Note

The Tasting

A guided note in three moments, by our curators

  1. Appearance & Nose

    01

    This Merlot presents a deep ruby hue, hinting at its ripeness, with subtle garnet reflections that speak of its time. Upon swirling, an inviting bouquet unfurls, revealing notes of ripe plum, black cherry, and a whisper of wild herbs, characteristic of the Friuli Colli Orientali terroir.

  2. Palate & Finish

    02

    On the palate, the wine offers a smooth, velvety texture, gracefully carrying flavors of dark fruit and a touch of earthy spice. The finish is long and persistent, with a pleasant, dry embrace that lingers without heaviness.

  3. At the Table

    03

    This versatile Merlot would be an exquisite accompaniment to braised lamb shanks, truffle-infused risotto, aged Provolone cheese, or a classic Florentine steak. It is also perfect for a leisurely evening by the fire, savoring each complex nuance.
