A rich and full-bodied Merlot from the Veneto in northern Italy

- Best served after decanting and pairs exceptionally well with rich red meats and even strong cheese platters

I enjoyed this recently with friends over a charcuterie board and it was the perfect pairing! It's a Merlot from Veneto in Italy, which is a little obscure, but it has the best of both worlds with the rich notes of a classic Merlot with Northern Italian flair. - Katy Barker, OWC
