Lis Neris is the main red wine from the estate. It distinguishes itself for its Bordeaux-like profile (90-95% Merlot and 5-10% Cabernet Sauvignon) and for its full-blooded Friulian character.
A warm and rich wine, with refined tannins and a very long aftertaste.
The first vintage of production was 1989, when Cabernet had the main role, but through the years Merlot got more and more dominant, bringing in its warmth and smoothness.
