Mia Ragazza Merlot

2009 Delle Venezie Merlot

Mia Ragazza Merlot from the Delle Venezie region is a captivating red wine that showcases the depth and elegance of the Merlot varietal. This full-bodied wine offers a rich and opulent flavor profile, with pronounced fruit intensity that highlights luscious notes of ripe black cherry, plum, and subtle hints of spice. The high acidity provides a refreshing vibrancy, balancing the wine's weight beautifully and ensuring an invigorating mouthfeel. Tannins are medium and velvety, contributing to a round, smooth texture that makes this wine approachable and enjoyable. This wine is dry, allowing the fruit to shine through without overwhelming sweetness, making it an exemplary choice for pairing with a variety of dishes or savoring on its own. With its complexity and harmony, Mia Ragazza is a delightful expression of the Delle Venezie region and a testament to the exceptional quality of the 2009 vintage.

Region:


Delle Venezie

Part of the larger Tre Venezie IGT area, delle Venezie offers high quality and more regional character through tighter production rules. The region covers the Veneto, Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Trentino areas—a large swathe of northeastern Italy lying between the Alps and the Adriatic Sea. Fresh mountain breezes and cool sea air help temper the sunshine here and maintain fresh acidity in the wines, while day-night temperature variation brings aromatic intensity. As well as Pinot Grigio (which accounts for seven out of every ten bottles made), Pinot Noir does well too. Also look out for sparkling Pinot Grigio Spumante and Frizzante.
