There is a Romanesque fresco cycle dating around 2012 in Schloss Rodeneck castle near Bressanone. The frescos depict motifs the Celtic - French 'Ywain' ('Wine') saga. They recount how relations at the time must have been extremely far-reaching, manifested both in the style of the paintings and in the content. Merlot has both style and content.
