A 100% Merlot wine. We're sometimes a bit reserved about it. This is because the Merlot grape has an often unjustified reputation for being dull and flat. Well, with Zenato Merlot Della Garda, you simply have a huge Italian success on your hands. Exceptionally characterful and spicy. Deep red color of red fruit. A wild note of freshly picked blackberries and currants. The balanced flavor palette is striking, with plenty of soft and sultry tannins.

Impressions of Zenato Merlot Della Garda
Zenato's wines embody the quintessential Italian wine. Major Venetian names like Amarone, Soave, and Ripasso are all part of their range. This means the vineyards primarily feature local grape varieties. However, Zenato's expertise extends far beyond the vineyards, and you'll also find international stars. Among them is a very distinctive Merlot. This grape variety has a reputation for being dull and flat. Thanks to its aging in Slavonian and French oak, this Zenato Merlot Della Garda is anything but a dull glass of wine. Its spiciness in the aroma and flavor makes it perfectly suited to accompany a piece of meat, but prepared in the Italian style.
