Gallici Refosco-merlot 2015

Gallici Refosco-Merlot brings us this dry red wine from Italy, a blend of Refosco and Merlot from the 2015 vintage. Refosco is a northern Italian red grape giving deeply colored, fresh wines with dark-berry fruit and lively acidity. It's joined by Merlot — a widely grown red grape valued for its soft, supple texture and approachable plum and black-cherry fruit, making it one of the most easy-drinking reds. Italy is a wine lover's playground — hundreds of homegrown grapes and a different specialty around every bend, from crisp Alpine whites to sun-baked southern reds. Pour it with weeknight pasta, roast chicken or a cheese plate and you're golden. Serve it at cool room temperature.
