Merlot got a bad rap a while back and we’re here to call it back on the scene. As one of the true ‘greats’ in the wine grape world, we want take a moment to celebrate its wildly delicious nature, and versatility. Full of fruit, punchy and grape-y in the best way, a hint of rose water, this Italian version is lighter than expected. A touch of carbonic maceration brings out the gummy fruit leather brightness, so this baby is like wild berry pie with a dry finish.

Delicious With

You can pair Merlot with a range of Italian specialties, especially tomato-based dishes. Great with the umami (i.e. deeply savory) tastes you get in foods like roast chicken, mushrooms and Parmesan.

Their Cred

Calalta is an organic winery run by Nicola Brunetti and his wife Giulia since 2017. Located on the hills at the foot of the mountains, in Mussolente, Veneto, they are surrounded by a beautiful scenery comprised of olive trees, woods, meadows and a pond. It’s a 16 hectares oasis rich in biodiversity that benefits from the protection of Monte Grappa which is located north of the winery. They grow unusual grapes for their area, but they have adapted very well to the climate and soil of Calalta. They believe that the grape variety should be a medium to express their terroir and the unique features of each vintage.
