Perlage's Merlot Trevenezie IGT

There are wines meant to impress and wines meant to accompany: this Merlot proudly belongs to the latter category. It's a genuine red, rooted in Venetian tradition, made from grapes harvested at full ripeness that retain sweetness and smoothness, with notes of cherry and berries and a hint of herbs and spices. Its harmonious classicism makes it a typical all-meal wine: one that can be enjoyed without any special occasion, pairs well with almost any dish, and by the end of the meal you'll realize you've run out. Certified organic and vegan, produced in a Sustainable Winery Equitas.
 
 
 

The roots of this wine lie in a vine that has crossed the Atlantic and the centuries

Merlot was born in Bordeaux, where it has been documented since the eighteenth century and where the name - from the Gascon Merlau, “merlo” (blackbird)—derives from the blackbirds, fond of its dark, sweet grapes. It arrived in Italy in the mid-19th century, and found a second home in the Triveneto region: the alluvial plains between Veneto, Friuli, and Trentino offered it deep soils and a suitable climate, and for generations, “merlot” was simply the house wine, the one sold in bulk in family taverns and cellars. It's no coincidence that the Trevenezie geographical indication unites these three regions under a single denomination: together, they tell a shared winemaking story, one built on everyday experiences rather than prestigious labels. And it is precisely in this domestic setting that Merlot is at its best.
