NOTES A wine with an unmistakable force of expression that comes from the intuition of bringing together this grape variety, of Bordeaux origin, with the Friulian terroir. Savoring the Merlot Vistorta is a unique experience, a flight through the wonderful and ancestral Bordolese landscapes, passing through Friuli, where this ancient wine develops a unique completeness and complexity. The simple awareness that the heritage is in the grape conditions choices such as having mature vines with very low yields but of very generous quality. Meticulous choices denote an immeasurable love for organically grown plants, choices that culminate at the time of harvest, with the tasting of the berries of all the rows.
