Vineyard & Production

Grapes are grown on mature hillside vineyards in Pavia, south of Milan. The ripest Pinot Grigio grapes are selected to develop a natural pink hue, complemented by a small proportion of Barbera and Pinot Nero. Harvested in early September, the grapes are crushed and left on the skins for 12 hours at low temperature before gentle pressing. Fermentation occurs slowly in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, and the wine is bottled young to preserve its freshness and aromatics.

Tasting Notes

Pale coral pink in the glass. Fresh and fruity on the nose, with delicate aromas of red berries. The palate is juicy and well-structured, with ripe berry and cherry fruit, a lightly creamy texture, and zesty acidity leading to a crisp, dry finish.

Perfect Pairings

Serve chilled as an aperitif or pair with salads, cold meats such as salami or smoked chicken, and seafood dishes. Also excellent alongside light pasta and antipasti.
