The Merlot "Fusco" is a remarkable expression of the winery located among the lush terraces of Nimis, not far from Udine. After a partial drying process that defines its rounded structure, it is fermented in stainless steel tanks and subsequently aged in barriques for 36 months.  Its maturity is evident in the ruby red color with garnet highlights, with herbaceous aromas accompanied by enticing notes of wild berries and a subtly chocolatey finish. The palate is persistent and enveloping, offering a perfect harmony of elements that make for an enjoyable and refined drinking experience.

Description

The Merlot grapes, harvested at optimal ripeness, are partially dried for approximately 8 weeks. This drying technique, a hallmark of La Roncaia’s style, aims to produce a wine that is more structured, expansive, and fruity. The grapes are destemmed but not crushed and are fermented in stainless steel tanks. After a maceration period of about 25 days, the wine is racked and transferred to barriques, where it remains for approximately 36 months, maturing slowly. After bottling, the wine undergoes further aging, resulting in a more mature and balanced product.
