Merlot Vigneto Bellazoia 2019

The Merlot Vigneto Bellazoia comes from a vineyard site known for producing soft, expressive and generous red wines. Merlot has a long history in Friuli, where it adapted quickly thanks to the region’s mild climate, cool nights and well-drained soils. These conditions allow the grape to ripen slowly, giving depth, colour and structure while keeping a fresh and lively style.

This wine shows clean and focused fruit. Notes of plum, cherry and small dark berries open the nose. Soft spices and gentle herbal hints follow. On the palate, the Merlot Vigneto Bellazoia is smooth, round and balanced. Its tannins are silky, and the finish is long and pleasant.
