Indigenous Verdea is the signature white: dry and lively with citrus, green apple, white flowers and almond hints; also sweet Passito. Riesling, Malvasia, Chardonnay and Pinot Bianco offer fresh whites. Barbera, Croatina, Cabernet and Merlot provide fleshy reds with balanced tannins.
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: Smooth
Said of a wine that has a mouthfeel reminiscent of the creamy texture of fats.
