Characteristics
This is a high-quality pink wine, whose colour lies between rose that of rose petals and onion skins. It displays the finest characteristics of the wines from the morainic soils of Lake Garda. Its flavour is fresh, fine and tangy, with marked salinity, elegant fruit, a delicate fragrance and a refined bouquet. It goes particularly well with fish, white meats and hors d’oeuvres. Excellent as an aperitif.
