Ruby red in colour with intense aromas of plum and black cherry jam. The taste is fresh, soft and enveloping, with integrated tannins. A long lasting flavour with slight minerality. From the local dialect “Merula” meaning blackbird, this is a tribute to the birds that appear every year on the vineyards at the end of the harvest.
