WINE DESCRIPTION

Scarbolo Campo del Viotto is a masterful expression of 100% Merlot from the Friuli Venezia Giulia region, crafted by the renowned Scarbolo family. This single-vineyard gem hails from "Campo del Viotto," where only the finest fruit of select vintages earns its place in the bottle. Precision winemaking begins with two meticulous hand harvests—one portion is air-dried for added intensity, while the rest is vinified immediately. Both undergo fermentation in small open-top oak barrels with traditional punch-downs for rich extraction. Aged to perfection, 80% rests in large tonneaux and 20% in barriques for two years, followed by six months of bottle refinement. The result is a bold, nuanced wine embodying elegance and innovation—a true celebration of Scarbolo’s passion for Friulian terroir.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Scarbolo Campo del Viotto Merlot entices with its deep ruby hue and layered complexity.The bouquet unveils ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and blueberries, enriched by hints of dark chocolate, sweet spices, and earthy undertones. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and velvety, with refined tannins and a harmonious balance of fruit, acidity, and subtle oak. The long finish leaves impressions of dried fruit and a touch of vanilla. This wine pairs beautifully with hearty dishes like braised short ribs, lamb shanks, or wild mushroom risotto. For cheese lovers, aged Gouda or Pecorino complement its depth perfectly.
