Deep ruby with a purple edge, it opens with red berries, cranberry, red plum and mulberry, before softer notes of crushed herbs, sandalwood, tomato stem, coffee and milk chocolate begin to appear. It is fruit-led and honest, with a bright, no-added-sulphites character that keeps everything feeling lively and pure. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"488\" data-end=\"761\"\u003eThe palate is smooth, medium-bodied and easy to love, with red fruit, gentle tannins and a clean, harmonious finish.

The estate works with certified organic and vegan wines, with a strong focus on sustainability, low-intervention production and its long-running no-added-sulphites range. The Merlot comes from vineyards on the plains and hillsides near the Piave River, where Pizzolato aims for pure fruit, freshness and a natural expression of the grape.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wine Republic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55725681049985,"sku":null,"price":14.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/0513\/9841\/files\/2023Merlot_Pizzolato.png?v=1779983997","url":"https:\/\/www.wine-republic.co.uk\/products\/2023-merlot-pizzolato","provider":"Wine Republic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
