2020 vintage

Hand picked, last ten days of September. Cherry pink color, floral, soft scent.

It has gold in its name - Gold - and the powerful charge of a modern wine - Traminer - decidedly "irreverent", because it is the fruit of an absolutely innovative vine, obtained from the crossing of Traminer vine flowers with those of Tuscan Trebbiano. A new variety created in the mid-1950s by Rebo Rigotti, geneticist from Trentino, one of the most brilliant international viticultural researchers. Precious vines, rare precisely because they are destined for targeted harvests and an equally particular wine. Like the one that ripens on the basaltic slope of Reviano, the sunny side of the Destra Adige, above Isera (Trento). The care in cultivation and vinification is maximum in order to offer an absolutely original, curious and yet intriguing wine. Gold in its sunny, brilliant color, with almost iridescent luminous reflections. The nose will win you over for the amalgam of fragrances embellished with a myriad of floral notes that recall candied fruit, acacia, citrus of mandarin and elder flowers, which surround the cultivation area in a fragrant embrace. On the palate it comes with fresh vigor, without neglecting the elegance of velvet, recalling round flavors of quince and crunchy apricots, with a never cloying sweetness and a decidedly rare gustatory persistence.

Holunder - a Goldtraminer that stands out for its versatility: to be enjoyed while still young - for immediate sensations - or to be rediscovered after some proper aging in the cellar, for unforgettable pleasures.

Orange color with golden reflections. Bouquet intense notes of officinal and balsamic herbs. On the palate it is soft, full with a persistent aftertaste.

Historic Abruzzo grape capable of giving rise to a wine of great character and personality. With an excellent gustatory structure, it stands out for its fresh and pleasant acidity and its wide fruity and floral aromas with elegant balsamic notes. Due to its peculiar characteristics it is a wine that proves to be very versatile in food pairings: excellent with all fish-based cuisine (excellent with raw), it also goes very well with aperitifs, appetizers, light first and second courses based on meat .

The name means that it is a product that originates from history. In fact, in the past years it was customary in peasant houses that, at the birth of a child, especially the firstborn, the father or grandfather of the unborn child would produce a particular wine at the first harvest, the "cooked wine". This wine was kept for years in small wooden barrels. It was opened, to offer it to diners, on the occasion of the First Communion and subsequently for the marriage of the child. Deliciously accompanied by typical Abruzzo desserts, sweets with almonds or in any case dry pasta.

Vinified in oak woods of different capacities, Yare is an important expression of Pecorino, an ancient vine, precocious and with low yields, which finds its ideal habitat in the cool and elevated hills of the Feuduccio. A limited production for a long-lived white wine with a great personality, the result of careful clonal selection.

The " Il Colle Ruzzo" line is enriched with a new wine, Pecorino, which has now become a certainty in the land of Abruzzo and which in our hills above Colle Ruzzo has all the typical characteristics of a straw yellow color, the sapidity of taste and the scent of aromatic herbs.

Cerasuolo is a gem that only Abruzzo can offer: a wine produced exclusively from Montepulciano grapes, left unpeeled for a very short time and immediately fermented.
