We are very big fans of Paraschos' Merlot, a variety that many people underestimate in northern Italy, even though it was brought here in the time of Napoleon and has therefore had a cool 200 years or so to become well-adjusted in the regions of the Veneto and Friuli in particular. The brothers Paraschos make theirs relatively simply: destemmed, three weeks' maceration/ferment in stainless, pressed off into big old wood of 500 to 2500L, bottled and then aged. With years of bottle age, as this one has, the wine becomes lighter-bodied, with notes of dried rose, bark, leaves, and fine soil. It's so very pretty.
