Red Wine

2018 Friuli Colli Orientali Merlot

The Zorzettig Red Wine, a delightful Merlot from the renowned Friuli Colli Orientali region, showcases a captivating deep red color that invites the senses. This 2018 vintage presents a medium-bodied profile, perfectly harmonizing a plush texture that is both smooth and inviting. As you indulge, the wine reveals a medium level of acidity, providing a refreshing lift that complements the rich flavors. Aromas and flavors of ripe blackberries, cherries, and subtle hints of cocoa emerge, creating a fruit-forward experience that is prominent yet balanced. The tannins are well-integrated and soft, enhancing the wine's overall elegance while maintaining a pleasing ability to pair exquisitely with a variety of dishes. The Zorzettig is crafted to be dry, allowing its fruit characteristics to shine through without any cloying sweetness, making it an accessible choice for both casual and refined occasions.

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.
