Merlot Trevenezie IGP - Ca' Stele 2023

Ripe red fruit on cherry and plum notes, framed by light spicy hints and a slight herbaceous touch that keeps the sip lively. The structure is medium, with soft, well-integrated tannins that support without weighing down, while the acidity keeps everything balanced and invites the next sip. The impression is one of cleanliness and drinkability, with a pleasant persistence that favors fruity returns over overly austere reflections.

It lends itself naturally to everyday but mindful use: it pairs well with hearty first courses, oven-roasted white meats, cured meats and medium-aged cheeses, and can also be brought to the table for an informal barbecue. Best served slightly chilled and, if possible, allowed to breathe a few minutes in a decanter to reveal broader nuances; it’s a solid Merlot with a gentle character, suited to those seeking balance and immediacy without giving up a decent depth.
