Collio DOC Merlot - Formentini dal Collio 2022

The Collio DOC Merlot by Formentini dal Collio is a refined and intense expression of one of the most appreciated international grape varieties, perfectly adapted to the unique terroir of the Collio region in Friuli-Venezia Giulia. This area is famous for its ability to produce high quality wines, thanks to ideal climatic conditions and rich soils that give complexity and character to the wines. Formentini dal Collio, a winery with a history rich in passion and dedication to viticulture, offers with this Merlot a wine that enchants with its elegance and structure.

At sight, Merlot has a deep ruby ​​red color, with reflections that tend towards garnet with the evolution of time. The olfactory profile is complex and inviting, characterized by notes of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and plums, enriched by nuances of sweet spices, chocolate and a light vegetal touch that enhances its freshness.

In the mouth, the wine expresses remarkable richness, with soft and well-integrated tannins that blend into a full and harmonious body. Balance is the key to this Merlot, which offers a long and persistent finish, marked by a pleasant acid vein that invites tasting. The maturation in wood adds complexity, without overpowering the pure expression of the fruit.

This Merlot is ideal for accompanying rich and structured dishes, such as grilled red meats, stews and mature cheeses. Its elegance and depth also make it perfect for special occasions, where it can be appreciated on its own, as a meditation wine.

Formentini dal Collio, through its Collio DOC Merlot, offers an interpretation of the vine that is both faithful to tradition and open to new expressive possibilities, demonstrating once again the oenological excellence of the Collio area.
