Curiosity
The Koran forbids any consumption of wine, only in paradise one dreams of it: "Resting on soft divans they look around them; full of joy they drink pure, well-sealed wine, the sentence of which is sheer musk;... a wine mixed with water from the spring Tasnim, where the lucky ones refresh themselves... and the black-eyed Huris, chaste as hidden pearls, are waiting for you as a reward for your deeds".
Food Pairing
Ideal with asparagus dishes, onion soup, grilled and fried fish, snails or simply as an aperitif!
Vintage 2019
Lively, Fresh Wines Filled with Character After a capricious winegrowing year with some extreme weather conditions, the ideal autumn weather before the beginning of harvesting led to a good harvest with some promising quality. (Südtirol Wein)
