Taste Notes
Fruity notes of plum and berry mixed with creamy richness makes our Merlot BellaVitano® truly one-of-kind.
The rind is meant to be eaten and is part of the tasting experience!

Soaked to perfection.
Four generations of Sartori brought us BellaVitano® in 2008. Beautiful in color and taste, the Merlot enhances our highly-decorated American original.
