Venezia Giulia Rosso “Ludvik”

Tart cherry from the Pinot Noir is backed by richer Cabernet and Merlot. With decanting it softens and rounds.

Region: Friuli-Venezia Giulia
Grapes: 40% Pinot Nero, Terrano, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot
Maturation: Oak
Alcohol: 12.5%

KL Wines writes: Succulent dark fruit, floral perfume, and a dash of spice combine to form a distinctive Friulian bottling that is a match made in heaven with Chris Lee’s pork chops with fennel and coriander.
