Descrizione

The Merlot Friuli DOC from Ca Modeano is born in the heart of Friuli, a region renowned for its extraordinary ability to enhance international grape varieties thanks to a unique microclimate, characterized by temperature fluctuations that promote the balance and complexity of the grapes. This Merlot best expresses the soft character of the variety, with an aromatic profile that recalls intense scents of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and plum, enriched by delicate spicy notes and a hint of vanilla due to aging in wood. The velvety structure and gentle tannins make the sip harmonious and enveloping, able to elegantly accompany succulent dishes based on red meats, game, and aged cheeses. Ca Modeano thus consistently interprets the Friulian merlot, offering a wine with an authentic and well-balanced personality, representative of the territory and its winemaking traditions.

Winery history

The estate is shown on historical maps and vineyards have been cultivated in the area since 1982; the complex was renovated preserving the villa and farmhouses and has an agricultural tradition that has evolved over time. In May 2023 management passed to cousins Luca and Andrea Cisorio, who have started a relaunch while maintaining the facilities for tastings and direct sales.
