Bosco del Merlo Pinot Nero Primont 2024

Bosco del Merlo Pinot Nero Primont 2024 is a refined Friuli red that combines the elegance of Pinot Noir with the character of the region’s mineral-rich soils. Its name pays tribute to Primo Carnera, the legendary boxer from Sequals, and reflects the idea that great strength begins at the roots—here, in the vineyard. This is a wine with a distinctly aromatic profile and a sense of place that speaks clearly of northern Italy.

Tasting Notes
With its bright ruby hue, this Pinot Nero is typically marked by a delicate yet expressive nose of red berries, wild strawberries, sour cherry, and subtle floral tones, often supported by light spice and earthy undertones. On the palate, it is graceful and medium-bodied, with fresh acidity, silky tannins, and a clean, polished finish that keeps the wine lively and balanced. The 2024 vintage is best enjoyed for its youthful charm and aromatic finesse, though the structure of Pinot Noir from Friuli suggests it can develop further complexity over the next few years. While not built for long ageing, it should gain a little more nuance with short-term cellaring.

Production
Primont comes from vineyards in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, where the soils provide vines with essential nutrients and help shape wines with a distinctive aromatic identity. The region’s cooler northern Italian climate is well suited to Pinot Noir, allowing for slow ripening and the preservation of freshness and fragrance. Harvesting and vinification are carried out with care to preserve the grape’s delicacy and the wine’s expressive fruit character.

Food & Serving
This Pinot Nero is a versatile partner at the table, especially with roasted poultry, duck breast, mushroom risotto, veal, or lightly seasoned game. It also works beautifully with soft cheeses and dishes featuring earthy ingredients such as truffle or porcini. Serve slightly chilled, ideally around 14–16°C, and decanting is generally not necessary, though a short aeration can help if opened very young.
