Description
ABOUT THE WINE:  The grapes come from the “Le Creete” vineyard which is quite old, around 30 – 40 years old, where the soil has a high content of white clay. This characteristic gives to the wine a unique elegance and minerality. In Veronese dialect “creete” in Italan means “creta” which is clay.

TASTING NOTES:  Warm, golden, intense straw-yellow colour.  Exotic hints of pineapple and grapefruit with a savory trace.  On the palate, the dominate fleshy texture is full bodied & persistent with good minerality.

FOOD PAIRINGS:  Marine and fresh water fish emphasize the features of the wine.  It goes very well with first courses of octopus, pasta or rice, it also provides pleasurable sensations when consumed with strongly flavoured or seasoned cheeses.
