Fresh, fruity, floral: our great wines from 2016.

Historic vintage, the harvest of the century. Thus they have defined the grape harvest of 2016. In fact, the results emerging from various tastings tell us that the fresh vintage wines are of great fragrance, pleasantness, aromatic structure, with a beautiful complexity of scents. This is the year of white wines of excellence, of rosés of class, of Prosecco de garde, of valuable Classic Methods Vintage.

Let's start with the bubbles that this year more than ever we can define as exceptional. It seems that the hills of Prosecco, both in the Valdobbiadene and Conegliano areas, as well as Montello and Asolo, have produced musts of great refinement and pleasantness with a unique floral and fruity complexity. An excellent base for unique charmat methods.

GiustiWine has presented its Prosecco and, in fact, has received great awards internationally thanks to the vintage 2016. They have great drinkability and are therefore ideal for the magical summer evenings ahead.

For those who love Lugana DOC, this year extraordinary wines are arriving from the southern plains and hills of Lake Garda, exalted for their freshness, aromatic complexity, and extension of fragrances. With a saline sapidity and a texture never felt before.

As for Campanian wines, it will certainly be a season for stocking up. The Falanghine are delightful, crunchy, incredibly fresh, and possess a longevity unmatched by other vintages. The Pinot Grigios are structured and very fragrant. Their traditional neutrality this year changes to a great crunchiness of yellow and white fruits.

Excellent Soave DOC and Garganeghe from the hills of eastern Verona companies. We recommend the Motto Piane Soave DOC by Fattori. Inimitable!

Lastly, Franciacorta with the 2016 vintage will find products of the highest class, but for some, we will have to wait until next year.

Don't miss out on this great opportunity. The vintage 2016 could end quickly!
