TASTING NOTES

The Biscardo Family have been making wine from their base in Soave for over 150 years and are currently led by brothers Maurizio and Martino. During the course of Maurizio’s long and illustrious career, he has consulted for well known wineries around Italy and in doing so he came across the vineyards for their Puglian wines. Both the Pugliese and Veneto wines are characterised by an almost dangerous drinkability, aromatic purity and exceptional value for money.

Hand picked up and placed in wooden cases, either at dawn or at late in the evening, to avoid the intense heat of the day. Aged in oak barrels for 12 months, with a light refinement in barriques.

Ripasso wines benefit from extra structure and fruit delivered by using the skins of sun dried grapes. This wine is bursting with cherries on the nose, has great depth of flavour, silky smooth fruit and a long, rich velvety finish.

Pair with mushroom dishes, such as mushroom risottos, or with slightly spiced sausages and hard cheeses.
