Molinara

Light, lively reds with pale colour, discreet tannins and brisk acidity, with aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, gentle spices and herbal notes. Traditional partner to corvina and rondinella in the typical blends of Valpolicella DOC, Bardolino DOC, Amarone DOCG and Recioto DOCG, bringing freshness and tension. Native Venetian variety from Lake Garda.

Pinotage

Intensely coloured, structured reds with inky robe and firm tannins, with typical aromas of blackberry, black plum, roasted coffee, cocoa, banana and characteristic smoky notes. Made as powerful ageing reds and as more approachable fruity cuvées, sometimes as rosés. Absolute signature of South Africa (Stellenbosch, Swartland, Paarl). Cross of pinot noir × cinsault created in 1925 by Abraham Perold at Stellenbosch University.
