Merlot

Merlot is a red berry vine, originating in the Bordeaux area, in the South-West of France, often combined with Cabernet sauvignon, from their union some of the most prestigious wines in the world are born.

The two vines are perfectly integrated: with a full and ripe fruit the merlot, with greater tannins and an innate longevity, the Cabernet; in Bordeaux also, the use of a percentage of Cabernet franc gives the blend pleasant plant sensations and an increase in the fruity component.
