Fantinel - Borgo Tesis - Merlot D.O.C. - Red Wine

Fantinel - Feel the Emotion

Once upon a time there was a man with a radiant smile who venerated good food so much that it became his reason for living. And in such a joyful parade of pleasure, wine sat on the royal throne. As a restaurateur and hotelier in northern Friuli, Paron Mario soon realized that his mission was to give people emotions with his special love for wine and that, to do it fully, he had to produce wine with his own hands. 1969 was the year when he acquired the first vineyards in the Collio area, the year when the great adventure started. This engaging adventure soon featured his sons Luciano, Gianfranco and Loris as the protagonists.

The three turned their father’s teachings into virtues, learning to touch and feel the soil, follow the time and the flow of the seasons, taste the grapes getting a glimpse of the secret of their little-big miracle. In the following years the family’s land ownership increased and many dreams came true.

That small agricultural company today, with the third generation represented by Marco, Stefano and Mariaelena, has become an internationally prestigious winery, ambassador of Friulian winemaking art in the world. But the origins have not been forgotten and, what’s more, the flame of passion is increasingly vivid.

Once upon a time a man, the first hero and author of a fable, wrote the first page signing it with an indelible imprint. Let’s savour this book entitled "Fantinel" ecstatically.

Fantinel - Borgo Tesis - Merlot D.O.C. - Red Wine

Varied aromas on the nose, great drinkability in the mouth and a balanced aftertaste that invites the sip: this is the combination of qualities that makes the Merlot DOC "Borgo Tesis" produced by the Fantinel farm really interesting. The grapes, rigorously selected to represent only the best of the original terroir, vinify in steel, to then mature in oak barrels and then bottled. A fascinating label, which will always reveal the incredible bond between the winery and the fantastic hills that draw the profile of the Grave del Friuli.

Tasting Notes

In the glass it shows a ruby ​​red color, with some slight garnet reflection. The olfactory spectrum moves around intense fruity scents, with more spicy notes deriving from refinement in the background. In the mouth it is full, enveloping, very soft and perfectly balanced.

Serving

It is a wine that has a natural gastronomic vocation to accompany meat-based dishes. However, it is also excellent with first courses based on structured sauces and medium-aged cheeses; to roast with roast beef.
