its skins for a period of 10 days. A further ageing period of 3 months

follows before the wine is bottled and released commercially.

TASTING NOTES AND FOOD SUGGESTIONS

The wine opens with a nose of fresh red fruits and floral notes that recall

violets. Elegant and light, this wine is all about freshness and easy

drinking, a wine to drink everyday in good company and with a wide

variety of Italian style foods from pasta to roast meats.
