Merlot is a red wine grape variety primarily used to produce dry red wines. Known for its approachable style, Merlot wines often exhibit flavors of plum, black cherry, and chocolate, complemented by soft tannins.

Merlot is generally considered a dry wine. While its fruity flavors might lead some to perceive a hint of sweetness, Merlot wines typically have dry finishes, meaning the residual sugar content is minimal.

Merlot Decima Aurea is a wine with a really important evolutionary potential. Ideally, it should be stored in a suitable place away from UV rays and heat sources. The ideal cellar temperature is 10 – 15 C°. The cork is made of cork and it is important that it maintains good elasticity by adhering to the inner surface of the neck of the bottle and preventing infiltration and excessive passage of air. For this reason it is important that the humidity level corresponds to a percentage of about 70%.
