Descrizione

Merlot DOC of Az. Agricola Gaggioli is born in the fertile land of Friuli Venezia Giulia, an area known for its temperate climate and mineral-rich soils, ideal for this international grape variety. The Merlot, with its juicy pulp and soft character, expresses here its full elegance, thanks to a careful vinification that preserves the varietal characteristics.

In the glass, it shows an intense ruby color, while on the nose it reveals aromas of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and plums, accompanied by pleasant spicy hints and light herbaceous notes. On the palate, it is round and velvety, with delicate tannins and a harmonious finish that invites another sip.

Perfect to accompany white meat dishes and medium-aged cheeses, this Merlot confirms the versatility and refined territoriality of the Gaggioli winery.

Winery history

The Gaggioli estate is a family-run operation of the Colli Bolognesi with a long history in viticulture and, over time, has complemented its wine production with the agriturismo Borgo delle Vigne, created from the renovation of the estate’s buildings. The family's role is locally recognized for their contribution to the area.

Production philosophy

Production aimed at enhancing the local area: everyday wines carefully vinified, revival of local traditions, and integration with food-and-wine hospitality and zero-km sourcing.

Terroir and vineyards

Located in Zola Predosa, in the Colli Bolognesi. The area is well suited to Pignoletto and to international and indigenous grape varieties cultivated on the hills surrounding the estate.

Awards and recognitions
