The Ronchi di Manzano 2015 Friuli Colli Orientali Merlot Ronc di Subule reveals elegance and a pleasantly mid-weight style that is packed tight with blackberry, blackcurrant, dried mint and a slight signal of smoke or toasted cedar wood. There is a touch of tightness that comes with these warm-vintage tannins, but nothing that a rare steak with a creamy pepper sauce can't handle. Some 6,000 bottles were released.
