The Merlot Riserva DOC Friuli Colli Orientali by La Viarte is a wine that magnificently embodies the passion and winemaking tradition of Friuli Venezia Giulia. Situated in the prestigious area of Colli Orientali, this wine is produced from a careful selection of Merlot grapes, cultivated in vineyards that benefit from an ideal microclimate and soils particularly suited to the varietal.

Presented in an elegant Jeroboam format, the Merlot Riserva is noteworthy for its intense and deep red color. The nose is caressed by a complex bouquet, where notes of ripe red fruits emerge, enhanced by hints of spices and a light touch of vanilla, resulting from a maturation in barrique lasting over 12 months.

On the palate, it stands out for its balanced and full-bodied structure. The entry is soft, followed by well-integrated tannins that lead to a long and persistent finish. The rich fruit flavor blends with tones of chocolate and tobacco, making each sip a memorable experience.

This Merlot Riserva is ideal as an accompaniment to robust dishes such as grilled red meats, roasts, and aged cheeses. It is recommended to decant it for a few hours before serving to fully bring out its organoleptic nuances.

A true gem for lovers of characterful red wines, the Merlot Riserva DOC Friuli Colli Orientali by La Viarte is an excellent choice that promises to elevate any wine collection or festive table.
