Tasting a rich, velvety Merlot from the house of Bottega, from the Trevenezie IGT region, Italy

Who said you can’t talk (and think) about wine on a weekday? Here’s me sharing a new wine I tasted over the weekend – the Casa Bottega Merlot from the Trevenezie IGT zone in Italy.

Have you ever come across a bottle of Italian Merlot? Not surprising that it is often overshadowed by the popular, big Italian native grape varieties, but it does get its moment in the sun, now that many Italian winemakers are producing quality Merlots – Low yields, concentrated flavours, rich textures, and Merlots signature lush, velvetiness. Through its simplicity and above its price point – the Bottega Merlot excels.


Empire Spirits India imports the wine, reach out to them if you’d like to get yourself a bottle (or two!) 🍷 The wine is priced at INR 1800 in Haryana.
