Merumalia Wine

​Situated a few miles from Rome, Italy in Frascati, we were privy to a wine tasting at Merumalia Wine Estate.  The host was very courteous and detailed in his explanations of how the company, a mere 6 years old, started making wine and olive oil.  A former astronaut, he and his family have taken ownership of the estate.  The most impressive thing about the production of the wine is that it's all certified organic.  While their array of half a dozen white wines, one red wine, and olive oils are giving themselves a name in Italy, they are just making their mark in the US, with plans to expand in the coming months. 

We had the opportunity to taste several of the selections of wines, and all agree that Primo was our favorite.  We were able to drink the wine without food and then paired for taste with bread, cheese (for the non-vegans), meat (for the non-vegetarians), and olives (for the vegetarians).  It exceeded our expectations, and left us wanting more, with a slight buzz on the way back to hotel.

We were excited to purchase several products from the wine estate.  However, because of a snow storm and delay with checking in bags, a few bottles of wine were thrown away.  We were able to bring home two white wines (Primo & Canto), and two cans of olive oil.  More info can be found at​http://www.merumalia.it/en/prodotti/.  

Have you been a wine tour? And if so, do you often buy their products?
