The soil on the old “an Varej” vineyard alongside the cellar on the Bricco hill is both clayey and calcareous.
Only steel is used in the vinification of this readydrinking wine with a very clear-cut flowery profile, accompanied by rich, fragrant fruity overtones.
Lots of berries, and hints of plum and orange. Sweet tannins. This wine goes well with most traditional Italian stuffed pastas, but with its plentiful fruity profile it really comes into its own when paired with exotic cuisine, especially the sweet and sour variety typically found in Chinese and Thai cooking.
