2006 Barberani - Umbria IGT Moscato Passito Villa Monticelli
The Moscato grape, always a part of our company vineyards, dries in a natural way on the vines under the Umbrian sun. At the beginning of September, the warm sunlight dries the golden clusters, concentrating the sugar, while fresh evening air has the effect of intensifying the varietal aromas of this wonderful grape. This particular drying technique magnifies the intense aromatic qualities and great enjoyability of this wine, making it unique for its concentration and elegance. A great meditation wine.

2016 Bertani - Veronese Rosso IGT Secco-Bertani Vintage Edition
An intense red color with ruby highlights. Hints of redcurrants, blackberries and cocoa powder on the nose, together with spicy notes of black pepper, cloves and nutmeg. On the palate a pleasant flavor of red fruit, sour cherries, concentrated cherry and black tea, followed by fine, powdery tannins with a coffee bean finish. It is a plush wine with good weight and the typical complexity of mature vineyards, though still young and vibrant. Combining drinkability with complexity, this wine goes so well with food that it can be paired with several dishes to bring out its convivial value.
