“INTESE. AROMATIC. FONDOVICO”

Fondovico was born as a tribute to a historic Gravina wine, the “Verdeca”. It is not just a mere reproduction but our reinterpretation
of Verdeca wine, which is a piece of Gravina’s history.

Tasting Notes
Shining yellow colour. The nose is floral, fresh and intense. Besides a good bouquet light apple and peach notes are also perceived. On the palate, the sparkling wine is not too aggressive thanks to the presence of the remaining sugar content and to the not so  pungent presence of CO2. The aromas make the wine silkier than its real structure. The sip is full and perfectly balanced.

Food Pairing
White Sparkling Wine - Extra Dry. Medium-bodied with an intense floral bouquet, thanks to the presence of Malvasia and Moscato in the blend. Fondovico can be paired with dishes of medium fat and a good aroma of spices.

TECHNICAL PAIRING: Sea Salad.
“HEART PAIRING”: Asparagus Omelette.
“ROCK N’ ROLL PAIRING”: Pizza with bufala mozzarella cheese and light spicy salami
