Discover the grape variety: Albanella

Fresh and lively dry whites with a pale golden robe, a supple palate with preserved acidity, showing understated aromas of citrus, white flowers and Apennine herbaceous notes. Discreet profile best drunk young. Often blended with verdicchio or trebbiano in Marche whites, contributing to the typicity of Marchigian whites without dominating the terroir. Native white Italian grape from the Marche region, grown on small surfaces in the Apennines.

The wine region of Stellenbosch

Showcase of the South African vineyard: signature Cabernet Sauvignon as king red — structured and age-worthy with notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, tobacco and a menthol touch, firm tannins. Emblematic national Pinotage (created 1925) opulent and smoky (blackberry, coffee, leather). Fleshy Shiraz, supple Merlot as complement. Vibrant Chenin Blanc, ample Chardonnay and lively Sauvignon in whites.


The wine region of Western Cape

Cradle of South African wine. Signature Chenin Blanc (Steen, 20%) in ample, fresh whites with notes of quince, yellow apple, honey and acacia flower, from crisp dry to sweet. Sharp, iodised Sauvignon Blanc (Walker Bay, Constantia), balanced Chardonnay. Reds: emblematic Pinotage with roasted aromas (coffee, plum, smoke), firm Cabernet Sauvignon, spicy Syrah.

The word of the wine: Over-ripeness

Characteristic of grapes harvested late, rich in sugar, which give wines often mellow and marked by candied aromas.
