Merlot Collio - Komjanc Simon

The Merlot Collio from the wine-growing region Friuli-Venezia Giulia presents itself in the glass with a dense purple-red color. This varietal Italian wine displays delightfully complex notes of morello cherry, plum, blackcurrant and blueberry in the glass. Added to this are hints of blackcurrant.

The Komjanc Simon Merlot Collio delights with its elegantly dry flavor profile. It was bottled with exceptionally little residual sugar. This is a true quality wine that clearly stands out from simpler qualities and thus, despite all its dryness, this Italian enchants with the finest balance. Aroma simply does not necessarily need a lot of sugar. On the palate, this powerful red wine is characterized by an incredibly silky, dense and velvety texture. The finish of this red wine from the Friuli-Venezia Giulia wine-growing region ultimately impresses with a lovely aftertaste. The finish is also accompanied by mineral nuances from the sandstone- and clay-dominated soils.

Vinification of the Merlot Collio by Komjanc Simon

This powerful red wine from Italy is made from the Merlot grape variety. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Here, the vines drive their roots deep into soils of clay and sandstone. After the harvest, the grapes are brought to the press house as quickly as possible. There they are sorted and gently crushed. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. After fermentation, the wine is aged for several months on the fine lees before it is finally bottled.

Enjoy this red wine from Italy ideally tempered at 15 - 18°C as an accompaniment to boiled veal topside with beans and tomatoes, fried calf’s liver with apples, onions and balsamic sauce, or vegetable couscous with beef meatballs.
