The bouquet is subtle and delicate yet well expressed, with notes of sun-dried hay and walnut skin and fruity echoes; on the palate it is dry, soft yet fresh and fully flavored, with a distinctive background of apples and aromatic herbs giving a prolonged finish. Ideally savored with: starters, fish and shellfish, sushi, soups, white meats. Perfect as a before-dinner drink.

''''

Grapes: 50% Barbera ; 40% Croatina, 10% Uva Rara
Wine-making process: A brief period of fermentation on the skins helps to retain all the characteristic features of the grapes in the resultant wine. Subsequently, the wine undergoes light re-fermentation in pressurized vats, ensuring the residual sugar levels to remain high, so as not to compromise its typically fruity aromas.

Characteristics: Creamy purple mousse, generous musty bouquet redolent of raspberries and blackberries, and a subtle echo of aniseed.

Ideally savored with: Cooked fruit, biscuits, cakes, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, peaches and other non-acidic fruits.

Serving: 50°-53° F in wide, long-stemmed wine glasses.
