Friuli, a small region in the far northern reaches of Italy, has been growing this grape since before it was fashionable, and continues to do so proudly even as it no longer is. Friuli is foggier and cooler than merlot's usual zip codes, so the wines tend to be lighter with more freshness and savor. They tend to age better as well. This wine is rich with the soft, plummy fruit for which merlot is famous, but it tastes like soil and smoke too.
