Another Collio Merlot

[Thomas]

IK, Marco Felluga is distributed in NYC. I visited the winery three years ago--met Marco and the family. Got a taste of everything they produce--loved most of it. Each year I make a visit to their booth at VinItaly (Verona) which I intend to do again next week.

I believe Marco is cousin to Livio Felluga, but the former's wines are priced a little better and just as good as Livio's. The merlot is definitely a cool climate type, and might be the only wine I feel is over-priced, but only relative to other Merlots, not to what it takes to produce Merlot in Friuli Venezia Giulia--Collio.
