Renato Keber Collio Merlot Grici Riserva 2013

Renato Keber Collio Merlot Grici Riserva 2013 is a refined expression of Merlot from the Collio hills in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, where the grape has found an ideal home for more than a century. Crafted with careful research and selection, it reflects both the character of the vineyard slope and the producer’s commitment to precision and quality.

Tasting Notes
Expect a deep ruby-red colour with the depth and maturity of a well-aged Riserva. On the nose, it typically shows ripe dark fruit, plum and subtle herbal tones, supported by notes that may evolve toward spice, earth and gentle oak nuances with time in bottle. On the palate, the wine is usually smooth and structured, with Merlot’s round fruit wrapped around fresh acidity and fine tannins. As a Riserva, it should have good ageing potential, developing more complexity and finesse over the years.

Production
This wine comes from the Collio area in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, a hillside terroir known for its well-exposed slopes and favourable conditions for premium viticulture. The site’s specific microclimate and careful vineyard selection are central to the wine’s identity. The grapes are selected with particular attention to quality, and the vinification is carried out to express the character of the site and the variety in a polished Riserva style.

Food & Serving
This Merlot pairs beautifully with roast red meats, braised dishes, game, mushroom risotto and aged cheeses. Serve at around 16-18°C, and decanting is recommended, especially in its youth or if you want to fully open up the wine’s aromas and structure.
