Cantina di Gambellara Monopolio Merlot from Gambellara, Italy, is a vibrant Red (Rouge) still dry wine crafted from 100% Merlot grapes grown on volcanic and calcareous soils in the historic Gambellara hills. Fermented and macerated in stainless steel tanks, then aged in a mix of stainless steel and oak, this wine offers an elegant and complex nose of ripe red berries. On the palate, it is velvety, round, and full-bodied, presenting a riper and more structured profile than many Veneto Merlots. This versatile wine pairs beautifully with roasted meats, hearty pasta dishes, and mature cheeses.
