“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

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.

“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

Limitation of 3 articles per customer“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

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

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

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
