Description
Venezia Giulia Merlot Just Me 2017 di Lenardo
Variety: 100% Merlot
Intense ruby red color with light garnet shades.
The nose is intense, and differently multifaceted. We have aromas of blackberry jam and red plum. This is followed by notes of tobacco leather and sweet spices, such as vanilla and nutmeg. Hints of ash and undergrowth conclude a prospect of great value.
On the palate it has thickness and volume in large quantities. For this the structure is worthy of applause, because it is capable of holding up and giving vivacity to the wine. Deep and persistent between aromas of blueberry, blackberry and spices.
Undoubtedly Di Lenardo’s most prestigious wine, a full-bodied and structured Friulian Merlot. It does not lose drinkability, but it makes us understand the potential of the grape.
