Rosso Miani NV

Miani's Rosso Miani is a renowned wine from Friuli, primarily made from Merlot. Opening this bottle is like inviting the spirit of nature and tradition they hold dear into your glass. You really get to experience the essence of Friuli and the allure of Merlot together.

In the first volume of 'The Drops of God', it's enjoyed by Shizuku and Maki at a hotel, where they compare its vibrant character to the seductive dance of Salome. That scene perfectly captures the wine's opulent and entrancing nature.

When you pour it into the glass, you see this deep ruby color that's so appealing. Take a sniff, and you'll catch ripe black cherries and plums with a backdrop of spicy herbs. It's full-bodied and powerful on the palate, yet the tannins are dense, melting into a silky smoothness.

The acidity is robust, and the fruitiness is just bursting all over. The finish is long, leaving a sense of joy dancing around your mouth. Try serving it slightly cooler and decant it before drinking to enhance its complexity and enjoy all the nuances Friuli has to offer.
