Merlot 2016

Count Brandino Brandolini’s true passion is revealed in his role as owner and winemaker at his family’s historic Vistorta estate in northeast Italy’s Friuli region, just 25 miles north of Venice. This down-to-earth, Venetian-born graduate of Texas A&M and the University of Bordeaux took the helm at Vistorta in the 1980s.
