A blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, the Damijan 2015 Prelit sees extended fermentation on the skins, keeping with a distinctive, out-of-the-mainstream house style. This is a delicately fragrant and graceful red with floral aromas of dried rose and cherry blossom. Earthy notes, iron ore and rusty nail add a fine layer of salty minerality that emerges quietly from the rear. What you have here is a slender, lean-bodied red blend that would pair well with a Friulian recipe of fatty eel.
