A classic white wine blend from a little-known area near the famed Lake Garda, in the Veneto region of Italy. The wine is medium-light bodied, with a whisper of pineapple in the aroma, more light tropical & citrus notes on the palate, and a lightly-mineral, crisp finish. This is an organic wine, from vines grown in sustainably-farmed vineyards. [13% alcohol]
It is very easy to sip, and sip, and sip…
FOOD PAIRING: Best as an aperitif wine on its own, or paired with thin slices of lightly smoked ham or dry beef salumi, or even with small chunks of an aged cheese like Parmesan or Pecorino Romano.
