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.

Rondinella

Light, fruity reds with a pale robe, discreet tannins and fresh acidity, showing aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, gentle spice and herbal notes. A faithful companion to Corvina in the typical Valpolicella blends: fresh, gulpable Bardolino DOC, Valpolicella DOC, concentrated Amarone DOCG and sweet Recioto DOCG. A productive autochthonous variety from Veneto.
