With its fruity and balanced taste, it is an ideal accompaniment to appetisers, country-style snacks and hearty home cooking, yet also to the classic pizza or meat and poultry dishes. This wine should be served and drunk slightly chilled yet not cold.
A particular speciality; it is born in an uncontaminated landscape of mountains and valleys, growth in the fresh crisp air of the Alps and is improved by the centenarian and traditional ability of the local producers. Trancio IGP by weight variable. 350 gr. of goodness of the Alto Adige, the regular shape, is a precious help in kitchen be like ingredient than like fanciful appetizer.
This wine makes a youthful impression with its fresh, pale yellow and subtle green-yellow highlights. The inviting bouquet initially reveals notes of gooseberry paired with a touch of currant followed by nuances of elderflower, nettles and flint. The palate makes an equally refreshing impression due to a crisp, elegant, appetizing acidity that is superbly integrated. The extraordinary freshness that characterizes this wine continues the entire length of the mouth. Well balanced and firmly structured, this wine impresses with notes of minerals and clearly defined varietal aromas on the finish.
