"Vigna Dominin" comes from a steep single vineyard with old vines that are deeply rooted in the characteristic Ponca soil. Paolo Meroi only vinifies this wine in the best years and with uncompromising precision. The 2015 vintage was characterised by a cool growing season, which gave the grapes exceptional aromatic tension and a remarkable balance of fruit, structure and acidity. After rigorous manual harvesting, the wine matured for 24 months in French barriques and was only released after several years in the bottle.

A dense ruby red colour with delicate garnet reflections in the glass. The bouquet is multi-faceted and of great depth: black cherry, blackberry, cassis, plus tobacco leaf, truffle, dark chocolate, liquorice and balsamic notes. Concentrated on the palate, with silky ripe tannins, enormous texture and cool minerality. The acid structure is perfectly integrated and carries the long, complex finish, which is characterised by salty spice. "Vigna Dominin" is not a wine for quick enjoyment, but a monument to Friuli: long-lasting, finely woven and endowed with the quiet authority that characterises great terroir wines. A masterpiece from Paolo Meroi - powerful, precise and touching at the same time. SUPERIORE.DE
