Merlot is the oldest varietal to date in Friuli. Planted over 200 years ago this vine thrives the most for red grapes on Friulian soil. (Fun fact Merlot means black bird in French because of the color of the skins being so dark, Quintarelli named one of his wines Ca del Merlo after some of the crows that hang out in his vineyards.)
Tasting notes:
Dark berries, plum, currant, leafy greens, lower tannins, solid acidity
