Pierre Monte Merlot Wine | Italian Red Wine with Medium-Bodied Finish and Soft Tannins | 75 cl

Description

From old-world wineries to new-age wine regions, the journey of wine is fascinating to say the least. Often called the drink of the gods, man’s association with this eloquent drink can be traced all the way back to the year 7000 BC. The first mentions of Merlot can be traced back to Bordeaux where it was named after a local bird who loved eating ripe grapes. Over the years, merlot grapes emerged as the most planted variety in France and certain parts of Italy, Switzerland and the US. Some would argue that this red wine is less prestigious than certain wine varietals, but its world-wide distribution has already shown just how intense and rich this wine can be. Merlot settled perfectly in Abruzzo, Italy and some exquisite vintages can be traced back to the Chieti wine region. The Pierre Monte Merlot presents a ruby red wine that boasts of mild spicy notes and herbaceous hints which blend magnificently with ripe fruity aromas. Each sip introduces you to harmonious mid-bodied flavors and soft, chewy tannins. Pair this wine with tomato sauce based first courses for semi-mature cheese or more exotic dishes such as lamb in spinach curry sauce.
