These are the rare moments when a wine combines everything: origin, character and that depth that is difficult to explain. "Titut Ros" is just such a wine - a single-varietal Merlot that is only made in very small quantities and exclusively from the oldest vines on the steep plots of Ronc di Vico. The deep roots of the vines, anchored in the barren Ponca soil of the Colli Orientali, characterise a fruit of rare intensity and clarity. Thanks to stable weather conditions, the 2022 vintage offered perfect ripeness with impeccable health - the grapes were hand-picked, meticulously selected and vinified with a long maceration period. The wine then matured for 18 months in new and used French barriques before finding its inner balance in the bottle.

Dense ruby red in the glass with a slight garnet rim. The bouquet is initially restrained before unfolding a broad panorama: Black cherry, plum, cassis, accompanied by black pepper, mocha, tobacco, graphite and a hint of truffle. Powerful, silky and almost weightless precision on the palate. The tannins are finely interwoven, the acidity is perfectly balanced and the minerality runs like a shining thread through the long, spicy final. "Titut Ros" is not a Merlot that wants to please. It is a Merlot that challenges and rewards, with quiet power and timeless elegance. A wine that can last for decades - and is one of the quiet, great voices of Friuli. SUPERIORE.DE
