GABRINO

MERLOT IGT UMBRIA

ORGANIC WINE

The oldest wine in Dionigi’s production. A pure Merlot aged in large oak barrels for about two years, it has accompanied our winery since its foundation. Its name is the “nikename” of the Dionigi family and comes from Grabiele Dionigi, who founded the company in 1896.

It is a very strucured wine with a significal alcohol content, but at the same time smooth and captivating, almost a meditation wine.

It suits rich and elaborate dishes, red meat with porcini but also stewed and grilled meat.

Serve at 18°C.
