The Merlot Colli Orientali del Friuli DOC - Toni Vasût from Gori Winery is a red wine that represents the excellence of the Friulian terroir. This Merlot stands out for its bold character and complex structure, a result of expert winemaking and maturation processes.
This wine is ruby red with violet reflections and offers an intense bouquet of ripe red fruits such as plum and cherry, enriched by hints of sweet spices and a touch of vanilla, a legacy of its aging in barrique. On the palate, the Merlot Colli Orientali del Friuli DOC by Toni Vasût is full-bodied and velvety, with good acidity to balance its richness and a soft yet pronounced tannin that promises excellent longevity.
This wine is produced following sustainability guidelines, with careful monitoring of yields to ensure the highest quality of the grapes. After harvesting, the grapes undergo cold maceration to preserve fresh and vivid aromas, followed by controlled fermentation. Aging in barrique for several months serves to mellow the tannins and integrate the wood with the fruit, resulting in a harmonious and lingering Merlot.
Ideal to be served with red meat dishes, game, or aged cheeses, the Merlot Colli Orientali del Friuli DOC by Toni Vasût enhances the best of rich and flavorful cuisine but can also be enjoyed on its own, as a meditative drink. A wine that showcases the richness and diversity of Friuli, capable of captivating Merlot lovers and surprising those in search of depth and structure in a red.
