This wine is from Italy, Friuli-venezia Giulia region, Friuli Grave sub-region. The Di Lenardo family has cultivated vines in Friuli-Venezia Giulia since the early 1800’s. Quality took a leapforward in 1987, when the estate decided to press only the grapes grown in their vineyards. In 1998, winemakerMassimo di Lenardo personally took charge of the wine production. Emphasis was placed on using only handpicked,estate grown fruit coupled with new plantings of specially selected varieties, increased density of vines andsevere pruning. Refined methods of vinification, based on physiological ripeness and electronically controlledtemperature during the fermentation, improved the quality of the wine. Whole berries are gently crushed in apneumatic press. After a first racking, the must is transferred to temperature controlled fermentation vats and thewine stays on the lees before bottling. With the exception of Toh! and Sauvignon, all the wines see malolacticfermentation. MERLOT Wine Italian Still Wine Minimize
