Atypical Merlot: still jet black & inky sporting plum & blackberry notes, some bell pepper, earthy aromas, but not overdone. Med weight, gentle tannic grip, a certain freshness, flavorful w/black fruit flavors. Love reds from Friuli

Great affordable merlot from Italy! Doesn't show much in the beginning but give it 10 minutes and you can easily get lost in a bottle all to yourself.
