CASA DEL MERLO
Colli Euganei | Controlled Designation of Origin - Merlot
This wine was born from the desire to produce a Merlot,
which in Veneto was the most cultivated red grape
variety due to its versatility and adaptability to the
territory. However, only in a few instances has it made
the best of its highest qualities.
