Merlot, Sottovoce, 47 Anno Domini, Venezia, Italy 750ml

Intense, deep dark red with subtle, elegant browny-red undertones. Clean and warm. It leads with pronounced red berry, ripe plum, and red currant fragrances, closely followed by prominent notes of sweet vanilla, toasted wood, and a faint hint of green pepper. A smooth, medium-to-full-bodied entry with a pleasant, warming sweetness from the 13.5% alcohol content. Silky, soft tannins diffuse evenly across the tongue, balanced by a clean acidity and subtle notes of licorice, cedar, and clove.

The finish exhibits a long, persistent, and satisfyingly dry finish that invites another sip.

Pasta & Mains; rich tomato-based sauces like Ragù Bolognese or earthy mushroom risottos and Cheese such as Semi-aged hard cheeses, herby soft cheeses, and aged gouda.
