Tasting Note: The Meroi Nestri Rosso is a blend of Merlot and Refosco. A deep ruby color, with aromas of plum, bing cherry, currants, violets, tobacco, spice and a hint of smoke. The medium body is vibrant, balanced and well structured, with a lovely texture, which is underlined by a nice touch of acidity keeping it fresh and inviting through the finish.
Estate History: Meroi was founded in 1920 by Paolo Meroi’s great grandfather, Domenico. In 2004, Paolo also purchased the famed Zitelle vineyard. Other storied parcels that produce revelatory wines include the Barchetta and the Durì. Here in the high hills of Buttrio, the wines are a fascinating expression of the region's signature "ponca" soil: marl and sandstone from an Eocenic seabed. This singular terroir has become increasingly recognized as producing some of the world’s finest, most fascinating wines.
