Merlot Collio DOC Friuli-Venezia Giulia

A straightforward Merlot from Collio – one of Friuli's most prestigious white wine regions, which is also known for its characterful red wines. Livon, an established family winery based in San Giovanni al Natisone, cultivates vineyards throughout Collio and is one of the region's most trusted names.

The grapes for this Merlot grow in the Ruttars vineyard on marl and clay soils – a combination that gives the wine structure and a certain mineral depth. The hilly location in northeastern Italy ensures good temperature variations between day and night, which preserves its aromatic freshness. In the glass, it reveals dark cherry, some plum, and a hint of clove. The body is medium-bodied, the tannins soft and integrated, and the finish pleasantly short to medium-long.

An uncomplicated everyday companion: 16–17 °C drinking temperature, paired with pasta al ragù, grilled lamb chops, or a mature pecorino. It's also perfectly fine as a glass after work, without any special occasion.
