VINITY WINE COMPANY


VOLPE PASINI, MERLOT "FOCUS"

ZUC DI VOLPE: this line represents the zenith of our production. In the "Zuc" line we want to represent the grapes, the territory and its wines in their most seductive and stunning rendition. For this line we select the best grapes for each varietal. We them vinify each type and each batch individually, selectively adapting the technological processes to bring out the full character of the raw material. The resulting wines are the best expression of the variefal .— characteristics that the territory and our know how are able to produce. Although the MERLOT grape is French in origin, its has been accepted and become integral part of the Friulian enological lexicon garnering praise and winning over the skeptics. This is due in part to its ability to age gracefully, and to improve and evolve; and in part it is due to its seductive personality and gentle structure. Our wines are of an intense red when young and become more ruby in color with age while the nose develops into a gentle and subtle bouquet of small berries; blackberries and raspberries in particular. Our Merlot is the ideal match for red meats and roasted poultry. It should be served at 65°F.
