The White Collio DOC Wines
New - COLLIO BIANCO Wines
E' un uvaggio di pregiati vitigni bianchi dei Collio, che ogni azienda sceglie accuratamente per produrre un proprio vino esclusivo, secondo gli indirizzi della Casa. Le caratteristiche organolettiche variano e vanno pertanto scoperte dal consumatore o suggerite dal Sommelier. Anche gli abbinamenti seguiranno la composizione del vino e l'eventuale invecchiamento o affinamento, essendo un preciso orientamento dei produttori verso la botte o la barrique. Se fuori pasto, servire alla temperatura di 10 °C. A tavola va servito a 12°C.
