The Merlot DOC Friuli Grave Tenuta Fernanda Cappello is a wine that elegantly and characterfully reflects the unique territory of the Grave del Friuli. This wine is made from carefully selected Merlot grapes, grown on sandy and gravelly alluvial soils, typical of this renowned area. The aging, which takes place in wooden barrels to enhance structure and softness, gives the wine a harmonious balance between freshness and green notes of aromatic herbs.



In the glass, it presents an intense ruby red color; on the nose, aromas of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and plum, emerge, accompanied by delicate spicy tones and a light balsamic background. On the palate, it shows a soft and enveloping tannic texture, with a persistent finish that invites another tasting. Ideal paired with grilled red meats, aged cheeses, and traditional Friulian dishes, it is an authentic expression of Merlot in one of the most prized areas of Friuli Venezia Giulia.

Winery history
The estate grew out of the Cappello family's long entrepreneurial experience: acquisitions and plantings begun in the mid-20th century transformed the gravelly soils of Sequals into a large, family-run wine estate. Over time management passed to subsequent generations, with expansions of the winery, new product lines and technological investments that have culminated in increased production in recent years.
Production philosophy
A strong focus on quality from vineyard to cellar: selecting the best-suited sites, attentive vineyard management, tailored vinification and investments in technology to enhance the character of the grape varieties and the terroir, while maintaining operational efficiency and sustainability.
Terroir and vineyards
The vineyards lie in the Magredi, at the foot of the Friulian hills near Sequals, on gravelly alluvial and calcareous-dolomitic soils. The microclimate is influenced by the Alpine breeze from Val Tramontina, which promotes healthy grapes and a mineral character in the wines. The area falls within the DOC Friuli Grave zone.
