Schreckbichl Merlot
A Merlot from South Tyrol — that means: alpine freshness meets Mediterranean ripeness. The Schreckbichl winery (Colterenzio) in Girlan near Bolzano is one of the region's most reliable producers, known for its precise varietal style and meticulous cellar management.
This Merlot showcases what distinguishes South Tyrol from warmer Merlot regions: ripe dark fruit—blackberry, plum—with a cool herbal note and well-integrated tannins. Aging takes place in small oak barrels, which gives the wine structure without masking the fruit. Medium to full-bodied, with a pleasant finish.
Serving temperature 16–18 °C. Pairs well with roast beef, leg of lamb with rosemary, aged Pecorino cheese or hearty South Tyrolean dishes such as Schlutzkrapfen with butter and sage.
