Fasoli Gino “Orgno” Merlot Veronese IGT 2016.

Fasoli Gino “Orgno” Merlot Veronese IGT 2016 is a mature, richly textured Veneto Merlot that combines ripe dark fruit with savoury complexity, warm spice and softened tannins. With bottle age, the wine shows a layered profile of plum, black cherry, tobacco and earthy notes, while retaining enough freshness to keep the palate balanced and composed.

Appearance:

Deep garnet red with brick-toned highlights and a dense, mature core.

Aroma:

Layered aromas of black cherry, dried plum and blackberry are complemented by tobacco, leather and dried herbs. Notes of cocoa, liquorice and warm spice add further depth.

Taste:

Full-bodied and supple, with dark plum, cherry and black berry fruit supported by fresh acidity and smooth, resolved tannins. Savoury herbs, dark chocolate and earthy spice provide complexity and maturity.

Finish:

Long, warming and persistent, with lingering dark fruit, tobacco, cocoa and fine savoury tannins.

Food Pairing:

Excellent with braised beef, roast lamb, game, mushroom dishes, slow-cooked pork or mature hard cheeses.
