Merlot is one of the world's most popular black grape varieties, thanks to its ability to adapt to a wide range of soils and climates. It originates in the Gironde region of France, but in Italy it is grown mainly in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Veneto, Trentino and Tuscany. Often blended with Cabernet Sauvignon, its complement, in what is known as a Bordeaux blend, Merlot is characterised by its roundness, persistent aromas and body. Select on Svinando the bottles of wine produced with Merlot grapes you prefer and pair them with red and white meats to best appreciate its organoleptic characteristics.
