Light, fruity reds with a clear ruby colour, silky tannins and an airy palate, with aromas of red fruits (cherry, raspberry) and delicate floral notes. Discreet Friulian profile. Very rare, preserved for its heritage value, this dark-skinned mutation of the white Picolit survives in a few heritage plots in Friuli. An ancient north-east Italian variety.

The wine region of Toro

Historic DO of Castile and León, Duero valley near Portugal. Signature Tinta de Toro (local Tempranillo clone, 70%): powerful, concentrated reds with signature notes of blackberry, candied black cherry, plum, leather, tobacco, cocoa and spice, firm tannins and a dense palate — sunny wines of great ageing. Also round Garnacha, Malvasia and Verdejo as fresh whites. Extreme continental climate (40 °C summers), vineyards between 600-750 m.

The wine region of Castille-et-Léon

Cradle of great Castilian reds on high-altitude plateaus (450-1000 m) of the Duero. Tempranillo king (Tinto Fino, Tinta de Toro): powerful, structured reds with notes of black cherry, blackberry, plum, leather and spices, firm tannins and length worthy of long ageing. Stars: Ribera del Duero (Vega Sicilia, Pingus), fleshy Toro, Bierzo (fresh mineral Mencía). Lively herbaceous Verdejo whites from Rueda, cut grass and citrus.

The word of the wine: Champagne rosé

Often obtained by adding red wines (from Champagne), it is even the only vineyard where this practice is allowed. Some producers prefer the practice used in other regions, i.e. a short maceration to extract sufficient colouring matter. This results in winey rosés for meals. Elegant aperitif rosé is more often made from red wine coloured Chardonnay. Rosés can be vintage or non vintage.
