Vini Artico Merlot

2010 Delle Venezie Merlot, Cabernet

The Vini Artico Merlot showcases a beautifully deep red hue that immediately draws you in. This wine is a splendid blend of Merlot and Cabernet, crafted in the Delle Venezie region, known for its exceptional wine-growing conditions. On the palate, it presents a medium-bodied texture that perfectly balances richness and approachability. The acidity is vibrant and refreshing, enhancing the overall profile while ensuring a delightful mouthfeel. Expressive notes of ripe blackcurrants and plums dominate the aromatic experience, with subtle hints of spice and earth adding complexity. The tannins are firm yet well-integrated, providing structure without overwhelming the fruit. This wine is decidedly dry, making it an elegant selection for various culinary pairings or simply to be savored on its own.

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.
