DOC Collio Merlot "Perilla"
The bouquet is varied and complex, with aromas of small berries, especially particularly blackberry, nuances of aromatic herbs and hints of spice. Broad, full-bodied, with balanced and elegant tannins as typical of the Merlots of Collio. The discreetly persistent finish gives the palate pleasant hints of red fruits and a light balsamic note.

How to read it
Taste-aroma intensityCalendula
The power and clarity of the aromas: how much the wine speaks to the nose.
SavourinessSalt
The salty, mineral note that makes the wine savoury and dynamic.
Acidity and freshnessApple
The freshness that cleanses the palate: more acidity, a livelier sip.
TanninsPersimmon
The astringency that dries the mouth, from the skins' tannins — like an unripe persimmon.
PersistenceStopwatch
How long the flavours linger after the sip: the length on the palate.
AlcoholWhiskey
The warmth and body of alcohol: the higher it is, the warmer and fuller the wine.
SoftnessHot chocolate
The enveloping roundness on the palate, without edges — soft as hot chocolate.
