Merlot Venezia DOC 2018 - Villa Sandi

The Merlot Venezia from Villa Sandi in Veneto reveals a brilliant purple-red colour in the glass. The bouquet of this red wine from Veneto delights with aromas of mulberry, blueberry, blackberry and blackcurrant. If we continue to explore the aromas, cinnamon, green pepper and lovage are added.

This dry red wine from Villa Sandi is for people who would best have 0.0 grams of sugar in their wine. The Merlot Venezia comes very close to this, as it was vinified with just 1.9 grams of residual sugar. On the palate the texture of this light-footed red wine is wonderfully velvety. Due to the balanced fruit acidity, the Merlot Venezia caresses the palate without lacking juicy liveliness. In the finish, this red wine from the Veneto wine growing region finally inspires with considerable length. Once again there are hints of blueberry and mulberry.
