Farnea 'L'Arietta'

Country: Italy

Region: Veneto

Grapes: Merlot

Vintage: 2015

ABV: 12.5%

Named after the wind which cools the valley he calls home, this is a Merlot that puts to shame the connotations the grape brings to some. Fermented on skins for a couple of weeks, aged in old barrels for eight months and bottled without anything else, it is juicy, savoury and spiced, all red fruits and earth.
