Merlot – DOC Friuli Colli Orientali 2018

We simply love Merlot!! Originally a French variety, it has been grown in Friuli since 1880 and is now very widespread. Marina Danieli Merlot is grown on the hills of Buttrio from old vineyards. We have different acres of old Merlot vines which we preserve with a lot of love and respect. 

Winemaking: once the grapes are destemmed the first fermentation with the skins lasts till the end of sugar with daily pump-over. After pressing, resulting in the separation of must and skins, the aeging continues, for at least 18 months, in stainless steel tank (50%) and French oak barrels (50%) before making the blend. They fine together in stainless steel tank for 6 months before bottling.
