Discover the best wines made with Carmenère as a single variety or as a blend of Venezia Giulia.
Velvety, deep reds with a dark robe and round tannins, showing aromas of blackberry, plum, ripe red pepper, dark chocolate, coffee and gentle spice. Warm, supple finish. Absolute star of Chile (Colchagua, Cachapoal, Maipo) where it was rediscovered in 1994, long confused with Merlot. A historic Bordeaux variety that nearly vanished after phylloxera, a cross of Cabernet Franc × Gros Cabernet.
IGT covering all of Friuli-Venezia Giulia between the Alps and the Adriatic, a showcase of the great Italian whites. Signature Pinot Grigio, exported worldwide: fresh, precise whites with citrus, pear, white flowers, almond and a saline touch, a light and thirst-quenching palate. Also Friulano (Tocai) with green almond flavour, lively Sauvignon, broad Chardonnay, mineral Pinot Bianco. Supple reds: round Merlot, peppery Cabernet Franc, fine Pinot Nero.
