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.

>> dettaglio
A pleasant, full-bodied white wine with a rare elegance. Light green reflections sparkle through its golden colour. Its bouquet is characterised by fruity aromas, especially those of fresh green apples, such as those which ripen beside the vineyards of Merol. A fine balance between acidity and smoothness bestows a special structure on this Chardonnay. A fruity, lively, inviting wine which, when served chilled, goes well with many appetisers, with fish and white meat, or which may be enjoyed simply as an outstanding aperitif.
A wine with international style, produced only in good years the best grapes. This vouches for its excellent reputation. The wine has a gold-yellow colour, with a pronounced vanilla tone that arises its maturation in small oak casks and strong aromas of ripe fruits, this Chardonnay also establishes itself on the palate, strong and rich, with a pleasant fullness of body. Its refinement is especially distinguished and sets it apart. A Chardonnay for those who are seeking an especially unique wine, to enjoy either by itself or as companion to refined dishes of sophisticated cuisines, and one which will turn into an even more special experience after several years of additional maturation in the bottle.
This expressive and fruity Pinot Noir achieves its special finesse due to the large wooden barrels in which it is aged. Its silky but powerful body makes "Patricia" a wine that should be served with hearty meat dishes.
