Red
Il Merlò
By Giovanni Battista Gillardi, Dogliani, Piemonte, Italy
Merlot made only in the best years; vintages that miss the selection go mostly into Fiore di Harys. About 1,000 bottles a year.
Tasting notes
The estate's roundest and sunniest wine: immediate, rich and pleasant, with a smooth, enveloping tannin.
