Executed in a ramato style (with a copperish color), this oak-aged Pinot Grigio offers aromas of white cherry and cranberry followed by rose and candied lemon. Crisp acidity helps break apart the wine’s creamy texture.

Made with the native Raboso grape, this sports a dark, inky color and smoky aromas of exotic spice, wood shaving, nutmeg, dark fruit, tobacco and prune. The sugar content is high, although this wine doesn’t taste too heavy or syrupy. In fact, it boasts some nice crispiness as well.

This pink sweet sparkling wine opens with sweet notes of raspberry, vanilla cream, cinnamon and a touch of white pepper. The smooth mouthfeel is supported by fizzy effervescence. Incrocio Manzoni 13.0.25 was created in the 1930’s by Italian professor Luigi Mazoni and is a cross between Raboso del Piave and Moscato d’Amburgo grapes.
