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 2023

Great challenges, great wines - challenging weather brings out powerful reds and fruity whites. The 2023 vintage seems to corroborate one of Alto Adige’s wine legends: years of great challenges are years of great wines. Out in the vineyards, 2023 was a year of major challenges, but winemakers expect strong reds with rich fruit flavors and intense colors as well as fresh and even fruitier whites than past vintages.(Cons. Alto Adige Wine)
