Merlot from Friuli Wine Label

Merlot, Refosco, Schioppettino, Pinot nero (Pinot noir), Cabernet Franc are some of the red wines from the Italian region of Friuli. This wine label featuring the coat of arms of Friuli at the time of the Austrian empire is ideal for small wine producers and family wineries whose bottles can be given as presents to relatives and friends on various occasions: dinner parties, birthdays, as thank you gifts and more. Restored from a 19th century book, this heraldic Eagle of gold on a blue background drawn by Hugo G. Ströhl is the coat of arms of Patrie dal Friuli, the historical Friulian state that was independant from 1077 to 1420 under the control of the Patriarch of Aquileia, and that is now part of Italy. As some areas of the Patrie dal Friûl were at some point part of the Habsburg empire, Ströhl included this coat of arms in his famous work "Österreichisch-Ungarische Wappenrolle" (1890).
