Our Merlot wine is well-structured, balanced, and soft on the palate, with a clean, full-flavored finish. The taste of our Merlot wine is a great accompaniment for a wide range of foods, particularly tomato-based pasta dishes, poultry, and grilled meats.

Ecco Domani translates to "Here's tomorrow" in Italian, reflecting our forward-thinking approach and contemporary wine style. We choose our grapes from the regions where they grow best, which allows us to create authentic Italian wines with bright fruit flavors. Our Merlot wine is made with fruit from the historic and celebrated region of Sicily, renowned for its red wines.

Viticulture Notes

As is characteristic of the southern island of Sicily, temperatures were hot and dry during most of the summer with a brief respite of cooler temperatures arriving during mid-June. In the next two months during most of July and August, intermittent rains occurred and were welcomed as much-needed hydration for our vines. September was cool with small bouts of rain, creating the ideal conditions to lead into October’s sunny and dry harvest. The wines of the 2013 vintage from Sicily offer juicy fruit characteristics laden with a shroud of elegance.
