Morasco

2003 Delle Venezie Merlot

Bortolotti Morasco is a captivating Merlot from the Delle Venezie region, showcasing the depth and character that can be achieved in this celebrated Italian area. With a rich red hue, this vintage from 2003 invites you to explore its fruit-forward profile, which offers prominent notes of dark fruits, such as blackcurrant and plum, beautifully complemented by hints of spice and earthy undertones. The wine boasts a medium-bodied structure, allowing for a well-balanced palate that merges soft, approachable tannins with a lively acidity, making it a delightful companion for various dishes. Enjoy this full-bodied gem in both casual and formal settings, as it pairs wonderfully with roasted meats, hearty pasta, or simply sipped on its own as a conversation starter.

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.
