Bonisimus

COLOUR: Medium intense straw, radiant and calm. Substantial tears anticipate the story of wine.

NOSE: Excellent, pure and clear, a complex note of exotic fruit and freshly mowed grass. Harbal and floral scents in the background, with subtle notes of spiciness.

TASTE: Bonisimus creates a perfect harmony of taste in the mouth. The wine is succulent, soft, mineral with a buttery texture. A very long, creamy finish.

A perfect elegance despite the strong backbone. A wonderful and intense character, with Pinot Gris providing the finesse, Chardonnay the structure and Ribolla the freshness, while Pinela adds to the wine's unique character. The wine's name itself anticipates the story of Bonisimus.
