Tommasi, Le Prunee Merlot 2018 750ml

This easy drinking red is a pure expression of Merlot from Northeast Italy with mineral tones as well as flavors of plump cherry, blackberry jam and almond. Le Prunee is a single-vineyard Merlot grown at the Prunea estate in the Sant’Ambrogio valley of Valpolicella Classica. Merlot-based Le Prunee is an easy-drinking red wine that would pair perfectly with burgers and franks at an outdoor picnic. Bright cherry, blackberry and almond notes emerge from the bouquet. —Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast
