The Villa Russiz Merlot Graf De La Tour 2012 is an exceptional Italian red wine from Friuli Venezia Giulia. Made from 100% Merlot grapes, it has an intense ruby color. The nose offers complex aromas of red fruits, spices, and tobacco, enriched by balsamic notes. On the palate, it is structured, velvety, with fine tannins and a long, balanced finish. Aged 12-18 months in barriques, it pairs perfectly with red meats and aged cheeses.
