Merlot is a black grape variety originating from the Gironde region in Bordeaux. Its first description can be found in the varietal collection of the Jardin de Luxembourg in 1789. Later records identify Merlot among the “Crus” of Médoc together with Cabernet Franc and Malbec. The first evidence of its cultivation in Italy dates back to the second half of the 19th century, as shown by the ampelographic collection of the School of Viticulture and Oenology of Conegliano, around 1880. Many associate its arrival with Napoleon’s troops: in Friuli, the first vineyards were planted in San Giorgio della Richinvelda and Fagagna, thanks to the interest of Senator Pecile.
