Blended by our buyer, Steve Daniel, these wines are superb examples of modern winemaking at its very best and come highly recommended!

VINEYARD:
The grapes are predominantly sourced from the rich and fertile region of Emilia Romagna, one of Italy’s most prolific wine regions, located between Tuscany to the south and Lombardy and Veneto to the north. The region’s geographical diversity plays a significant part in creating the different terroirs found in the region. The River Po links the rolling hills and the Apennine peaks to the west of the region, flowing through the low-lying plains, to the vineyards influenced by the coastal breezes of the Adriatic Sea to the east. Each terroir imparts its own characteristic to the resulting blend.

WINEMAKING:
The grapes underwent brief skin contact before being pressed. The juice was clarified and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at 18 to 19°C with selected yeasts. The wine was made in an unoaked style, in order to retain the fresh and fruity characteristics of this blend.

TASTING NOTE:
An easy-drinking and refreshing dry wine with zesty aromas of citrus fruits, white floral notes and a mineral hint. Fresh on the palate with an Italian bitter twist on the finish.

GRAPES:
Famoso 10%, Trebbiano 60%, White Sangiovese 30%.
