Terre dei Santi Malvasia di Castelnuovo Don Bosco Spumante Dolce

A sweet sparkling red from the two Malvasia varieties grown around Castelnuovo Don Bosco.

Tasting notes

Pale ruby, cerasuolo. Floral, fruity and above all aromatic, recalling dog rose and wild strawberry. Sweet, lively and delicate, 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.
