Descrizione

The Merlot Maurus DOC from Vie di Romans, coming from the Isonzo area, is a red wine noted for its balance and restraint. In the glass it shows a moderate ruby color; on the nose it opens with memories of ripe red fruit such as cherry and plum, accompanied by light floral notes and subtle spice hints. The aromatic profile remains sober and clean, without excess, suggesting a measured, everyday drinking experience.

On the palate it is medium-bodied, with tannins that are present yet well integrated and an acidity that supports the sip without dominating. The finish is generally soft, with discreet persistence. It pairs well with everyday and traditional dishes: pasta with ragù, roasted white meats, light stews and medium-aged cheeses. Recommended for those seeking a frank, flavorful Merlot; serve at around 16-18 °C and uncork shortly before serving to appreciate its aromas.
