This Pinot Nero is characterised by strength and elegance and can withstand any international comparison. A spe - cial red wine in every respect colour, bouquet and flavour alike. Complex and multifaceted, with intense fruit aromas and an appealing vanilla scent which is the outcome of vinification and maturation in small oak casks. A wine like few others, recommended for special occasions and festi - ve banquets, an exceptional accompaniment to barbecued or roast meat dishes. Yet it is also a wine to be enjoyed for contemplation; a wine which is even more forthcoming following several years of maturation in the bottle.

Crystal-clear with a deep, green-yellow colour, this wine enjoys a unique type of aromatic fullness. Delicate hay and mild nutmeg fragrances typify the fine completeness of its scent. Sensations also recur on the palate, where the charming nature of this Müller Thurgau also comes to fruition. An uncomplicated wine in a simple style, fresh and easy to drink. Served chilled, it is a good accompaniment to the most varied of dishes, especially freshwater fish.
>> dettaglio
Medium garnet colour with ruby hints. Rich, quite pronounced, spicy aroma with a chocolate character, floral impressions (violets), red fruit and prunes. Soft, smooth fruit, full bodied. Masculine style. Firm, dry and somewhat earthy finish.
Full, harmonious and velvety taste with a clear-cut personality. Fruity fragrances melt with the spicy barrique aromas. The fine quality of this sparkling wine makes it perfect for important occasions, celebrations, and special events. Excellent either as an aperitif or served throughout the meal. Best when matched to fish and white meat dishes, but will also marry well with other even unusual preparations.
