Winemaker Notes
An abundant body is filled with notes of allspice, pear, and honeysuckle, with a touch of vanilla.
Pairs nicely with spicy and flavorful dishes such as Thai curry or barbeque.

Pre-fermentation maceration on the skins, fermented partly in stainless steel and partly in old oak before a further nine months in barrel. The faintest copper tinge hints at what is to follow: a succession of rich and ripe mineral-toned fruits and a pleasing denseness of texture. Will develop further.
There are hundreds of white grape varieties grown throughout the world. Some are indigenous specialties capable of producing excellent single varietal wines. Each has its own distinct viticultural characteristics, as well as aroma and flavor profiles.
The southern part of Italy’s northeastern Alpine region, Trentino, produces quality wines from international varieties. But its most exceptional native variety, Teroldego, with plantings concentrated around the sandy, gravelly, limestone soils of its Campo Rotaliano district, makes a deep purple-hued red wine with scents and flavors of wild blackberry, herbs, espresso and cocoa.
