TERROIR
"A perfect balance between nature and the hand of man." Our inspiration comes from the terroir, through the magic of the valleys, with their reliefs created over time. At the same time, nature is modified by the constantly changing winds, in perfect harmony with man's love for the vine, understanding that patience and respect for nature are foundations that transcend generations.
TERROIR MERLOT
750 ml
The winemaking vocation of Famiglia Valduga emerged in the heart of Vale dos Vinhedos, where more than a century ago it was known as Via Leopoldina, driven by the desire to prosper and extract from the soil enough to live with dignity. Respecting the terroir and understanding that each grape variety develops in a distinct way are the foundations that support the development of a great story. The constant pursuit of the true identity of each plot of land and its meticulous study drives us to seek the best results.

Nose
As it is a Merlot with notable maturation, the presence of aromas derived from oak is evident, such as cocoa and vanilla, accompanied by notes of blackberry and delicate menthol and coffee nuances.
Palate
Full-bodied, with soft tannins characteristic of the Merlot variety. Its moderate acidity provides balance, and its finish is long with woody notes and a touch of ripe fruit.
