Merlot Villa De Puppi 2022

The Merlot from Villa de Puppi originates in Moimacco in the province of Udine. The de Puppi family has cultivated these lands for generations, descending from the Counts Guidi, lords of Poppi, who fled from Florence and took refuge in these areas to escape the conflicts between Guelphs and Ghibellines. Even Dante Alighieri mentioned them in his Divine Comedy, praising their prestige and power. Since 1800, they have dedicated themselves to winemaking, passing down knowledge and tradition from generation to generation, producing wines of refined quality. In 1991, there was a radical restructuring of the historic manor buildings to modernize cellar techniques. The working philosophy is to preserve tradition, enhancing the intrinsic qualities of the territory and raw materials with an innovative and forward-looking spirit.

The vineyards of the Merlot from Villa de Puppi are located on soils predominantly composed of Eocene marly stone and pebbles for wines with a structured character. They extend for about 10 hectares on the Rosazzo Hills with a climate the history and tradition of a family dedicated to the world of winemaking.
