This vintage showcases the classic character of Merlot, with mature fruit expression, gentle tannins, and subtle tertiary notes developed over more than five decades of careful aging.
Tasting Notes:
The wine presents a garnet-red color with brick-orange tones at the rim, typical of a mature Merlot. The bouquet is complex and refined, offering aromas of dried plums, cherries, and hints of blackberries, layered with tertiary notes of leather, soft tobacco, gentle spices, and earthy undertones. Aeration reveals subtle balsamic and mineral nuances, enhancing depth and elegance.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with smooth, well-integrated tannins and balanced acidity. The finish is long and elegant, highlighting dried fruits, delicate spice, and soft earthy tones, reflecting both the careful vinification and the expressive character of Veneto Merlot.
Serving & Food Pairing:
Serve at around 16–18°C.
Pairs beautifully with roasted or braised meats, game, hearty pasta dishes, mushroom risottos, and medium-aged cheeses. Its aromatic complexity also makes it rewarding to enjoy on its own.
