The “Vigne 50 anni” DOC Merlot of Vigne di Zamò Winery is a soft and fresh red at the same time, pleasantly spicy, with great persistence; it is produced with 100% Merlot grapes, grown in the company's vineyards of Rosazzo, Udine. After careful selection in the old vineyards during the mid-September harvest, the Merlot grapes macerate in wooden vats for a period of 20 days, alternating manual punching, pumping over and delestage. Subsequently, racking, traditional pressing of the marcs and racking into barriques take place. The wine is bottled after 18 months and refinement in the bottle takes place for a further 2 years.
