A Rosso from Meroi is never just a cuvée - it is a calling card for the quiet precision with which this small, uncompromising family winery in the heart of the Colli Orientali del Friuli works. "Nestri" - Friulian for "ours" - combines Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Refosco in a stylistically clear but broodingcomposition that harmonises origin, ambition and personality. The vines grow on the typical Ponca soil, a mixture of marl and sandstone, which gives the wine mineral tension and fine structure. The wine is matured in French barriques, but always with the aim of preserving fruit and freshness - no loud wood, no bold display of vigour.

Dark ruby red in the glass with violet reflections. Ripe wild berries, black cherry, a hint of cassis, liquorice, sweet tobacco and fine floral nuances on the nose. Dense but not heavy on the palate, with silky tannins, lively acidity and a noticeable freshness that runs through the final. The Refosco lends grip and flavour, while the Bordelais varieties round off with elegance and depth. "Nestri" is a red wine with heart and attitude - not a blend for effect, but a well thought-out wine characterised by a family signature, which quietly yet confidently brings its origins to the glass with every bottle. Anyone looking for the rare and quiet glow of great craftsmanship will find it here. SUPERIORE.DE
