- Merlot Reserva 2017, Dolfo
Wines from the same manufacturer
Merlot reserva is still perfectly clean and attractive ruby red coloured wine of medium intensity, merely shy, brown coloured edge shows its age. Calm, but variegated aroma of ripe, jam berries, dried roses and ivy is accompanied with the trace of pepper of an excellent ageing wood process, in which peppermint and basil are indicated. The structure of tannins fits well with the mature, concentrated flavour, which with the spicy note nicely preponderates into an elegant and harmonic aftertaste.

Dolfo
Dolfo winery is located in Ceglo, right on the Slovene-Italian border, with vineyards partly at the one and partly at the other side of the border. They cultivate14 hectares of vineyards, 4 in Italy and 10 in Slovenia. Natural conditions such as soil, geographical location and weather provide a unique terroir for vine growth and maturation of many grape varieties. This was known already to the Romans, as wine-making history in our country goes back to antiquity, when the nearby Aquileia was an important trade centre. Wine lovers and connoisseurs immediately recognized the quality oh his extremly fry wines. What followed was a success that resulted in expansion of the vineyards, followed by building of a new cellar with a tasting room. Family Skočaj cultivates today 14ha of vineyards and annually provides the market with 120,000 bottles of excellent wines.
