Brucisco Rosso – Marco Merli

Brucisco Rosso - Marco Merli

Marco Merli’s Brucisco Rosso is born from a skillful blend of red grape varieties, crafted with an artisanal approach that highlights authenticity and the local terroir. Spontaneous fermentation takes place in concrete tanks, while aging occurs in a mix of large casks and stainless steel, preserving the balance between expressive depth and freshness. In the glass, it reveals itself as a genuine wine with great character. The nose offers intense aromas of ripe red fruit, hints of forest floor, and refined spicy notes. On the palate, it is warm and enveloping, delivering a balanced, delicious, and elegant sip. Its solid tannic structure supports a harmonious, lingering mouthfeel, leading to a long and satisfying finish. An authentic and versatile red, it is ideal for pairing with roasted and grilled meats, game, cured meats, and aged cheeses, yet equally perfect for sharing at a convivial dinner.

Winery: Marco Merli

Nestled in the Umbrian hills of Casa del Diavolo is Marco Merli’s project—a small-scale agricultural venture he tends with passion alongside his father. Just a few hectares are cultivated with respect and sensitivity; here, nature dictates the rhythm, and the vines grow in harmony with their environment. The soil is nourished through natural practices—using organic fertilizers, cover crops, and targeted treatments of copper and sulfur—allowing wild vegetation and vines to coexist in an authentic dialogue. The goal is both simple and profound: to produce healthy, expressive grapes that truly reflect their place of origin. In the cellar, Marco guides the wine gently rather than forcing it, relying on spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts and extended aging in concrete vats, large wooden casks, and stainless steel tanks. Traditional Umbrian grape varieties give rise to thirteen honest wines, each rich in nuance and personality. These wines offer more than just the simple pleasure of a drink; they tell a story of land, time, and passion. They are authentic, profound, and surprising wines, capable of evoking unique emotions with every glass.
