Terre dei Santi Malvasia di Castelnuovo Don Bosco

A sweet, lightly sparkling red from the two local Malvasia varieties.

Tasting notes

Pale ruby, cerasuolo. Floral, fruity, intense and above all aromatic, recalling dog rose and wild strawberry. Sweet, lively, delicate and persistent, with a long almond finish and fine persistent bubbles.

Pairs well with

Desserts, dry pastries such as Piedmontese paste di meliga, or strawberry fruit salad; also good as a cocktail base.
