Visually, the Merlot from Ronco del Gelso boasts an intense ruby red color, which hints at the complexity and depth that are later revealed to the nose and palate. The bouquet unfolds as a complex array of ripe red fruits, with notable accents of plum and blackberry, enriched by a hint of spices and a subtle streak of tobacco and chocolate, due to aging in wooden barriques.
On the palate, the Merlot DOC from Ronco del Gelso shows a well-balanced structure, with soft yet present tannins that harmoniously blend with balanced acidity. The rich flavor of ripe fruit and slight spiciness come together to create a long and pleasantly persistent finish.
This wine pairs beautifully with dishes of red meat, game, and aged cheeses, but can also pleasantly surprise with slightly more daring dishes, such as a porcini mushroom risotto. The Merlot DOC from Ronco del Gelso is recommended to be served at a temperature of 18°C to enhance all its nuances.
With an aging potential that allows it to evolve and refine over the years, this Merlot is an excellent choice for enthusiasts looking to explore the typicality and elegance of the Friulian terroir through one of its most emblematic interpreters.
