Tasting notes
This is a remarkable, luscious, fresh, organic, dry white wine. Straw yellow color with clear green hues, also in the countless fine tears. Exuberant nose that is reminiscent of perfume, thanks to the unique malvasia puntinata grapes and subtle aging of this wine in old barrels. Harmonious, voluptuous, but silky-smooth mouth with an abundance in the aftertaste as well; yet the wine remains distinguished and dry. This wine pairs nicely with oriental dishes with white fish, seafood or poultry; also with salads with an exotic dressing or with matured cheeses. Serve at 12 °C
Wine Story
In 1945 Giovanni Brannetti purchased a vineyard in the Roman countryside and began making wine together whis his wife, Ida. They were later joined by their youngest son, Giuseppe, who had been passionate about wine making from an early age. Ever since, both father and son have been making wine with a careful eye on the protection of the environment (for example, they have never used fertilzers or weed killers). Daniela, Giuseppe's wife, took over responsibility for marketing the wine. Initially, the family made only cask wine, but they have continued to imrpove the quality of their wines constantly throughout the years. In 1986, Giuseppe and Daniela expanded their business through the purchase of a vineyard in the Appia Antica Park and started their organic farm 'Riserva della Cascina'. The farm was granted an organic certification for its production methods in 1994. In 2011, Silvia, the oldest daughter of Giuseppe and Daniela, having completed a PhD in Mathematics, decided to join the family business, ensuring a continuity which now stretches over several generations.
