In northern italy's premium, mountain-ringed regions of friuli and collio there's a tradition of extremely elegant, sophisticated whites and roses - unique, multi-varietal fine wines, mainly enjoyed in milan and venice's grandest restaurants, which will set you back #20 a bottle! it was old friend, star winemaker alessandro gallici's vision to let us in on this italian secret and produce just such a top-quality, delicious rosato for us. In the "ideal" 2006 vintage, he scoured vineyards for grapes offering maximum purity of intense berry fruit, and lavishly handcrafted the tiny volume, unforgettable visionario. "My visionario boasts exquisitely concentrated, aromatic summer berry flavours and a mineral-laced, crisp finish. A luscious, very elegant and refreshing aperitif, and i recommend it too with traditional italian antipasti." - Alessandro gallici, winemaker |
