merlot Toriòn

A black grape variety native to the Bordeaux area, where, along with Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, it contributes to the production of the most famous wines in the world.
It was introduced in Italy in 1880 by the senator Pecile and by Count Di Brazzà, and initially became widespread in Friuli and then in Veneto.
In Friuli-Venezia Giulia, it found its ideal habitat: a fundamental aspect of winemaking in Friuli. Today, it is the most widespread black grape variety.
