Il Merlot Colli Orientali DOC della Vigna Lenuzza è un vino raffinato che eccelle per la sua complessità e finezza. Proveniente da uno dei territori vitivinicoli più prestigiosi del Friuli Venezia Giulia, questo Merlot rappresenta una perfetta espressione del terroir locale. Alla vista, si presenta con un colore rosso rubino intenso e brillante, che invita all'assaggio.

Al naso, emergono subito sentori di frutta rossa matura come ciliegia e prugna, accompagnati da note più delicate di spezie dolci e sfumature erbacee tipiche del Merlot. In bocca, rivela una struttura ben equilibrata, con tannini morbidi e setosi che rendono il sorso piacevole e avvolgente. La buona acidità contribuisce a mantenere la freschezza del vino, mentre il finale lungo e persistente lascia un ricordo di frutti di bosco e leggeri tocchi boisé dovuti alla maturazione in legno.

Ideale in abbinamento con piatti di carne rossa, arrosti, cacciagione e formaggi stagionati, il Merlot Colli Orientali DOC della Vigna Lenuzza è un vino che conquista per la sua eleganza e armonia, rendendolo perfetto per occasioni speciali o come compagno di piacevoli serate in compagnia.
