Sensorial analysis
Impenetrable ruby red, dense in the glass, full-bodied. On the nose, it reveals floral notes such as dried rose and potpourri. Spirit-soaked cherries, winter fruit jam, black pepper, cardamom, and subtle iodized hints. On the palate, it is extremely rich, tannic and savory, with good freshness and high dry extract. Very persistent.
The history of our Natìo Merlot
The choice of the name Natìo is a tribute to a wine born only in certain vintages marked by specific climatic conditions. In 2017, thanks to a hot and dry growing season, we harvested an extremely concentrated Merlot, the result of a vineyard awaited for over twenty-five years—the time required for the vines to produce grapes suitable for important reserves. At last, the tasting convinced us to enhance it in purity. A Merlot endowed with great depth and complexity.
Pairings
Natìo Merlot Colli Euganei DOC is a red wine of great structure, with a clear and decisive sip and incredible persistence. It pairs perfectly with aged cheeses, braised dishes, roasts and game. Also excellent as a meditation wine. Serve at 18°C.
