Collio Denominazione Di Origine Controllata Merlot

2014 Collio Merlot

The Toros Collio Denominazione Di Origine Controllata Merlot from the 2014 vintage is a stunning expression of this varietal, showcasing the unique terroir of the Collio region. This red wine exhibits a medium body that is beautifully balanced by bright acidity, contributing to its overall freshness and approachability. The fruit intensity is prominent, with inviting notes of ripe black cherries, plums, and subtle hints of spice that add complexity and depth. Tannins are well-integrated and provide a soft structure that enhances the wine's smooth mouthfeel without overtaking the fruit. As a dry wine, it pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes, making it a versatile choice for any occasion while reflecting the elegance and richness expected from a distinguished Merlot.

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
