About Lago di Merlo
Lago di Merlo is named from the Italian lago di merlo — lake of the blackbird, the body of water where blackbirds come to drink and bathe. The blackbird (merlo in Italian, also the word for Merlot — the grape whose name derives from the French merle, blackbird) creates a layered naming: the lake where the blackbird drinks is also a poetic reference to the Merlot grape. The Paso Robles boutique produces Sangiovese and Montepulciano from Italian-heritage El Pomar District estate vineyard sources.
