Bella Sera Merlot

Bella Sera Merlot epitomizes the mellow tannins, lush fruit, and easy drinking style of great Merlots. Merlot, which requires less warmth than other reds to fully develop, is ideal for the hilly areas of the Tre Venezie region in Northeast Italy. Protected from the cold and damp climate of Europe by the Alps, the generations-old vineyards of Tre Venezie are home to numerous climatic zones. The hills near Veneto create an environment where grape vigor is optimal, yields are low, and concentrated grapes produce dense and complex wines. These ideal growing conditions and minimal winemaker influence have created the outstanding, "true to the grape" Bella Sera Merlot..

This merlot has a deep scarlet color, medium body, and aromas of raspberry and plum. Subtle fruit flavors of cocoa, cherry and spice linger on the finish. Soft tannins, vibrant fruit and balanced acidity make the Bella Sera Merlot a perfect match for a wide variety of foods especially tomato-based pastas, grilled meats, and poultry.
