000172021 Vino Rosso – Marco Merli

000172021 Vino Rosso  - Marco Merli

The 000172021 Marco Merli's Red Wine is a wine obtained from a blend of local red grapes. Spontaneously fermented in steel and aged in wood for 4 months. It is a red that plays on freshness and fruit, a good everyday wine.

Service

We taste it at a temperature of 16/18° in tulip glasses. Wine to drink immediately, but if left a few years in the cellar can give great emotions.

Pairing

This wine goes perfectly with first courses with important sauces, main courses of meat, to try with a grilled fillet.

Cellar: 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.
