The prestigious area of Aspen Woods in Calgary plays host to a wealth of beautiful homes, spacious yards and breathtaking scenery. Those that live in this bustling community are only satisfied with the best, and when it comes to wine, the best is found at the Italian winery of Merlo Vinoteca.

Types of Wines that can be Found at Merlo Vinoteca

The Merlo Vinoteca wine store is home to a wonderful selection of wines that are unavailable anywhere else in the area. Visitors will find that there are many different types of wine available, such as popular favorites like Castiglioni Chianta and Barolo Cannubi, as well as the rare wines of Elio Grasso and Voerzio.

Guests will discover that each presented wine comes with a wonderful history to it, an authentic Italian story that will make visitors feel as though they are sipping these wines in the vineyards of Tuscany or under a canopy in Venice. Merlo Vinoteca also contains wines by some of the more recently founded vineyards in Italy, such as Boglietti, Schiopetto and Riecine wines, all with a distinct taste and flavor that is not soon to be forgotten.

Why Choose Merlo Vinoteca

One of the greatest aspects of the Merlo Vinoteca wine store is that guests will be able to sample some of the most exotic wines in all of Italy. These wines, which include the aforementioned, are made to highlight each distinct taste from every wine region in the country of Italy. As the premier Italian wine store in Calgary, Merlo Vinoteca provides residents of Aspen Woods with the unique opportunity of experiencing a taste of Italian wine and its elegant culture right within the very walls of its store.

While Merlo Vinoteca carries some of the most popular Italian wines, such as Pinot Grigio, they specialize in rare and hard to find wines as well, exquisite and luxurious offerings that will satisfy any variety of palettes for those living in Aspen Woods. They are also the official suppliers of some of the best restaurants in all of Calgary. When visiting, guests will be able to learn everything there is to know about the role of wine in Italy and the specific textures that can be found in many of Italy's best wines from knowledgeable staff that are on hand to provide excellent customer service.

One of the main reasons for such a high quality in their wines is due primarily to the revolutionary Enomatic Sampling System, which allows Merlo Vinoteca to expertly preserve the crisp and delicious tastes of their wines. The wine store is open on Tuesday through Friday from 11am to 7pm, Saturday from 10am to 5:30 pm and Sunday from 12pm to 5pm. They are closed on Mondays.

Note: A long time friend of our firm in the neighboring province to the west, a very reputable UBC dentist, urged us to include a note to be mindful of your "teeth aesthetics" when consuming wine. If you've just had them whitened, you may want to hold off on the wine tasting for a week or two.
