Discover the grape variety: Heroldrebe
Light, fruity reds with intense ruby colour, silky tannins and a supple palate, showing simple aromas of red fruits (cherry, raspberry), plum, soft spices and floral notes. A thirst-quenching style to drink young. Now marginal in Germany, preserved for its genetic value in varietal collections and as a parent of Dornfelder (with Helfensteiner). German variety created in 1929 at Weinsberg (Portugieser × Blaufränkisch).

The wine region of Franciacorta
The Italian Champagne, the country's largest DOCG zone for classic-method sparklers. Fine, refined bubbles with signature notes of green apple, citrus, brioche, toasted almond and white flowers, taut and creamy finish (18 months minimum on lees, up to 60 for Riserva). Based on dominant Chardonnay, Pinot Noir for structure, Pinot Blanc for roundness. Satèn (low pressure, silky) and fruity rosé versions.
The wine region of Lombardia
Three poles. Franciacorta DOCG, Italy's answer to Champagne: elegant brioche traditional-method sparklers (Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc), fine bubble and mineral profile. Alpine Valtellina: Nebbiolo (alias Chiavennasca) with fine tannins and red fruits, powerful Sforzato passito. Oltrepò Pavese: fresh Pinot Noir and fruity-sparkling Bonarda.
The word of the wine: Harvesting and handling
In Champagne, a winegrower who makes his own vintages exclusively from grapes grown on his own property.
