Meroi, Ros di Buri D.O.C.
(roz dee BOO-ree)

 

Tasting Notes: From the famous Colli Orientali region of Friuli comes this beautiful expression of highland fruit Merlot from artisan winemaker Paolo Meroi. Unlike the many loose-jointed examples of the varietal available today, Meroi’s Merlot is tight and remarkably focused, with elegant, cool weather fruits that show true terroir character and dimensionality. Here, Meroi presents typical, irresistible French-style of lush, understated fruits, pencil lead, and cranberry preserves. Ros di Buri defies any notion that Friuli is a white wine-only territory.
