Ventiterre Merlot Veneto 750ml

The Zonin family has been making wine in Italy’s Veneto region since 1821 — nearly two centuries of passion, tradition, and an unwavering mission to share the very best of Italian wine with the world. Their Ventiterre (“Twenty Territories”) Merlot is a joyful expression of Italian winemaking at its most approachable and generous: vibrant, fruit-forward, and delivered with the kind of effortless elegance that only Italy does quite so naturally.

Intense ruby red in colour with brilliant reflections that catch the light, this Merlot captivates immediately with its freshness and abundance of fruit character. The nose delivers a delightful bouquet of red berries, marasca cherry, and raspberry with a whisper of sweet spice. On the palate it is pleasantly full and vibrant — with a dry, refreshing character, velvety soft tannins, and a clean, long, and genuinely satisfying fruity finish.
