“Nèstri” Bianco Friuli Colli Orientali DOC 2021
Nestri Bianco is a single varietal Chardonnay that showcases its varietal aromatics with great elegance. Bright straw yellow colour. Ripe and nuanced bouquet of yellow fruits, yeasty pastries and fresh mountain air. On the palate, Nestri reveals energy and concentration in a mineral-salty style that is deeply flavoured while avoiding any sense of heaviness. An all-round harmonious white from the small family-run winery with cult status. SUPERIORE.DE

“Nestri” Rosso Friuli Colli Orientali DOC 2020
Good, full, light ruby red colour. The deep aromas of dark berries, candied cherries and flint are bright and fresh. Clean, precise and deep on the palate, with good clarity and lift to its ripe but lively blue and black fruit flavours. It finishes with a very good juicy cut and refined tannins. A beautiful wine. SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2020 Rosso Nèstri bursts from the glass with a woodland-inspired bouquet that blends wild blueberries and peppery herbs with lavender and violet florals. It floods the palate with silky textures offset by tart wild berry fruits. Zesty acidity adds energetic tension throughout. The 2020 tapers off pleasantly chewy, staining and long. It leaves a bitter sensation, and the mouth waters for more as hints of currant and cacao fade." Vinous

Light straw yellow. Hints of honey flank the aromas and flavours of pear and tangerine. Deep and dense, a hint of sweet spice emerges with aeration on the long, rich, tactile back end. Meroi's Ribolla Gialla is always a little more complex and rich than its neighbours. In the final delicate citrus and floral notes. Powerful and very full of character!

Finely nuanced Chardonnay from the barrique. Bright yellow with a green tinge. Perfumed scents of citrus peel, banana and nuts. Firmly built and supple, with ripe acidity and underlying fresh herbal notes that consolidate the sweet citrus and oak flavours. The finish is precise and long. SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2022 Chardonnay is wonderfully refined with a pleasurable whiff of reduction that blows off to reveal vivid yellow apples, crushed almonds and vanilla custard. This is soft textured and built on purity. A cooling minerality lifts a lovely inner sweetness and crisp orchard fruits. The 2022 finishes remarkably fresh yet long, leaving pretty inner florals and hints of confectionary spice lingering." Vinous

“Zitelle Pesarin” Friulano Friuli Colli Orientali DOC 2018
As always, Paolo Meroi has vinified a great Friulano with classic proportions, of which one can only get hold of a bottle with difficulty due to a total production of just 1,000 bottles. As always from a microsite, this white convinces with its perfectly knit balance of fine peach notes, pear, green melon and a little honey, its vibrant acid wire and a remarkable freshness and length. SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright, light straw yellow. Opens with fine wood notes, some light caramel, then of fresh yellow apple, rich herbal spice in the background. Lush and rich on the palate, very good concentration, fine ripe fruit, but still noticeable wood overhang on the back end, needs further ripening." Falstaff

“Zitelle Duri” Malvasia Bianco Friuli Colli Orientali DOC 2020
This is a special expression of a single vineyard. Zitelle Durì is mildly fragrant and gently generous. The wine is never too obvious, but it exudes floral scents of yellow rose and star jasmine, with notes of preserved lemon or candied mandarin as it progresses. This wine achieves an impressive balance between aromatic intensity and texture. Oak barrels are used for both fermentation and ageing. Approximately 1,000 bottles were produced. SUPERIORE.DE
"Charming yellow cherry and peach with a hint of menthol; oaky and complex with a long finish of roasted peppercorns." Decanter
"The 2020 Malvasia Zitelle Duri is spicy and savory from the first tilt of the glass, as ginger mixes with green melon and dusty sage. This smooths over the palate in glycerol waves, hinting at kiwi and ripe yellow apples. The 2020 finishes with mineral tension and a tart twang of green citrus that lingers. The Zitelle Duri, a varietal Malvasia, is youthfully backward today, yet with the balance to evolve beautifully through medium-term cellaring." Vinous

Limitation of 3 articles per customer“Zitelle Barchetta” Sauvignon Bianco Friuli Colli Orientali DOC 2020
Zitelle Barchetta is a Sauvignon Bianco from the micro-location of the same name, produced in very small quantities. It is a rich and exuberant expression of the very aromatic grape variety. Barchetta is fermented in oak and aged in barrique for ten months. The result is a very atypical wine for Sauvignon Blanc. Its more oxidative style of vinification results in a creamy texture followed by warm notes of summer peach, toasted almonds and passion fruit. Complex, harmonious and very distinctive! SUPERIORE.DE
"An exotic blend of candied lime, rosemary and vanilla bean wafts up from the 2020 Sauvignon Zitelle Barchetta. This washes easily across the palate, surprisingly lifted and pure in style, as notes of nectarine and candied ginger are carried across a core of brisk acidity. The 2020 finishes lightly structured with a staining of primary concentration that lingers as a raw almond note slowly tapers off. I appreciate the more refined style that Meroi achieved in this vintage." Vinous

Meroi's new Sauvignon Bianco Casa Rossa is pleasantly floral with nuances of chamomile and freshly cut pear. Its soft texture is balanced by zesty acidity, while candied ginger balances green apples and a hint of nectarine. The finish is long, textured and floral, with hints of candied lime and salty minerals that lead up to the smoky final linger. Casa Rossa is a pleasure bomb, but perfectly balanced.

"The 2021 Sauvignon Vigneto Zitelle Barchetta is intense, pouring from the glass with an array of pungent herbs and flowers enhanced by crushed lime and sweet smoke. Its texture is deep and smooth, lapping the palate with a silky texture, while a core of sour citrus and tart orchard fruits provide contrast.

The 2021 folds in on itself on the finish, youthful yet with a saturation of primary concentration that lingers. A tart lemon peel note keeps me reaching for the glass to drink more. The Zitelle Casa Rossa has a lot to say, but you have to be patient. This is an absolutely stunning Sauvignon. This is the first vintage of Casa Rossa from a Zitelle parcel with significantly more active limestone in the soils. It is an absolute flagship." Vinous

Limitation of 3 articles per customer“Vigna Dominin” Merlot Friuli Colli Orientali DOC 2013
Dark ruby garnet, spicy blackberry bouquet with herbal and delicate roasted aromas, underlaid with a fine noble wood note. On the palate it is broad, deep and complex in texture, with present, well integrated tannins, well balanced and of excellent length. SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2013 Friuli Colli Orientali Merlot Vigna Dominin presents a slightly shy and closed expression of this popular French grape. The cool climate of northeast Italy helps to develop color saturation and sharpness. Instead of generous cherry and opulent fruit, this wine veers toward plummy notes with black spice, tar and tobacco instead. One minor hesitation regards the alcohol: it is recorded at 15%, and you do feel it. This wine is fermented in conical oak tanks and sees four weeks of skin maceration. It is aged in barrique for two years before going into bottle for another ten months. Those long maceration times explain the slow-moving inner power you get here." Wine Advocate
"Like the Refosco, the 2013 Merlot Vigna Dominin shows what appears to be a desire to maintain more freshness in the wines. Vibrant and medium in body, the 2013 is a model of understated finesse. Even so, there is no shortage of intensity, its just that the wine is better balanced than in the past, with more freshness and redder tonalities to the fruit, and less oak influence. I would wait to drink the 2013 for at least a few years in order to allow the wine to develop more aromatic complexity. This is a lovely showing." VINOUS

“Vigna Dominin” Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso Friuli Colli Orientali DOC 2013
Great wine that can boast enormous depth and intensity. Velvety and rich, the aromas recall dried berries, roasted oak and fine chocolate, on the palate of breathtaking power and fullness, the pure tension and beauty of Refosco. SUPERIORE.DE
"As well as the forest-berry aromas, there’s a hint of herb liqueur on the nose. The depth is certainly impressive and the acidity of this grape seems nicely balanced by some gentle tannins that time has polished. Good length." James Suckling
"The 2013 Refosco Vigna Dominin is a beautiful wine. Meroi has succeeded in taming most of the rusticity out of this notoriously rustic Friulian grape. In exchange, though, the wine is a bit less varietally expressive than it has been in the past. Still, taken on its own terms, the 2013 is a gorgeous Friulian red to drink over the next decade, give or take. Stylistically, the 2013 is a bit less pushed and concentrated than other recent editions. Sweet red cherry, French oak, spice and wild flowers are nicely pushed forward in this succulent, expressive red from Friuli's Colli Oriental district." Antonio Galloni

Limitation of 3 articles per customer“Vigna Dominin” Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso Friuli Colli Orientali DOC 2016
Great wine that boasts enormous depth and intensity. Velvety and rich, the aromas are reminiscent of dried berries, toasted oak and fine chocolate, with breathtaking power and fullness on the palate, the pure tension and beauty of Refosco. SUPERIORE.DE
"Deep dark opaque garnet purple. Shows rich and precise notes of wild berries, blackberries, elderberries, light mint and precious wood on the nose, complex. Polished and tightly meshed on the palate, spreads out in a lush and decisive way, cool fruit with precise progression, supported by excellent use of wood, lingers long." Falstaff
"This is really nicely done, showing black fruit, such as blackberry, as well as dark chocolate and spice. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm tannins and a flavorful finish. Some smoky oak at the end." James Suckling
"The 2016 Refosco Vigna Dominin is airy and dusty in character, as peppery florals and hints of licorice give way to dried black cherries. Its silky textures usher in a potent mix of red and black fruit with savory penetrating spice and violet-tinged florals that form toward the close. It leaves the palate with a coating of sweet tannins and lingering minerals, as hints of spiced tangerine and pomegranate fade. This is a powerful effort with the depth to balance. I’m looking forward to retasting it with a few years of maturity." Vinous

“Vigna Dominin” Merlot Friuli Colli Orientali DOC 2019
Merlot Dominin 2019 is explosive from the first sip. The rich bouquet is complex with raspberries, flowers, liquorice and herbs. The palate is extremely complex with overripe and opulent fruits. A wine with sheer exuberant elements, but nevertheless very coherent in its entirety. Everything is in the right place here and it is clearly the flagship wine of the boutique winery and on par with the great red wines of Miani. SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2019 Merlot Vigna Dominin opens with a dramatic bouquet, blending crushed blueberries with mentholated herbs and sweet tobacco. This is suave and elegant with a rush of polished red and black fruits while taking on a savory spiciness toward the close. The 2019 finishes incredibly long, as a web of fine-grained tannins wraps the palate in youthful poise. Black currant and chalky mineral tones slowly fade into the background. This powerful vintage of Merlot Vigna Dominin will require time to show its best. That said, it will be worth the wait." Vinous

![Meroi Davino](https://www.superiore.de/out/pictures/generated/category/thumb/338_338_100/friaul-meroi-davino.jpg)
The Lombard tribe recognised the unique location of the present-day wine village of Buttrio around two thousand years ago. It is therefore understandable that the best and most famous wineries in Friuli are to be found in the vicinity - at the beginning of the Colli Orientali del Friuli - and between picturesque hills. The Davino Meroi Winery is a small but bright star. The fortunes of the family business, named after his father, are today directed with great zeal by Paolo Meroi. Already in earlier years grandfather Domenico had acquired a large experience treasure in things viticulture. Paolo can rely on his friend Enzo Pontoni, manager of the nearby Miani winery, known for its high quality wines, for his daily work in the vineyard and cellar. But although his good wines undoubtedly bear the signature of his teacher, Paolo Meroi has developed a personal style for his white and red wines, which are full of character and only sold in small quantities. Davino Meroi's still affordable bottlings are now high on the regional leaderboards.
In the vineyards cultivated by the young oenologist Mirko Degan, the landowner attaches great importance to a late harvest of very ripe grapes and deliberately keeps the yields per vine extremely low. This gives the wines their great structure and complexity. The juicy and concentrated grapes are expertly processed in the cellar. The must is fermented in barriques. The white wines also undergo malolactic fermentation. Paolo is considered to be a proven expert in the field of the maturation of fine wines. After all, he regularly shared his oenological findings with his friend Enzo for many years, initially swimming against the current in winemaking. The exciting, harmonious and always fragrant wines of the Davino Meroi Winery, which is still little known but admired by many competitors, are considered highly authentic by connoisseurs. However, according to the impression of some experienced observers, they are more recommendable to advanced connoisseurs than to inexperienced wine lovers.
The Trattoria Al Parco, located in the middle of a park and around one hundred years old, is also part of Paolo Meroi's pleasure. The tavern, popular for its traditional Friulian cuisine, is run by the owner together with his wife Francesca. It is particularly known for grilled meat and game dishes. There has always been wine of its own to enjoy. During a guided tour in the Trattoria Al Parco, guests can also see Paolo's rarities. SUPERIORE.DE
"Meroi is one of the hottest and most ambitious wineries in Friuli. The owner Paolo Meroi is ambitious and full of energy. It doesn't hurt him at all to take the advice of his close friend Enzo Pontoni from the Miani winery in the vineyard and cellar."Robert Parker
