Cinque Terre Bianco Doc 2020 - Cantina Cinqueterre

Description

Imagine the green of the vineyards on enchanting terraces overlooking the sea , surrounded by a rich Mediterranean scrub and kissed by strong sea breezes .

Are you wondering where we are? But in Liguria , of course! And more precisely in the wonderful Cinque Terre : splendid villages characterized by colorful houses and vineyards clinging to the steep terraces created on the coast.

From such a place, ça va sans dire, wines of character can only be born .

The Cinque Terre Bianco DOC of the Cinque Terre Winery is an easy, casual and immediate wine to drink .

It presents itself to the eye with a beautiful intense straw yellow color with rapid golden-green reflections , crystalline and of good consistency . The nose has strong and persistent aromas , of good finesse and elegance with clear hints of wildflowers , broom , honey and lighter notes of citrus .

In the mouth it is dry and warm , with fresh and savory notes in substantial balance , a long and persistent finish with good taste-olfactory correspondence.

Why you should drink it

Because the Cantina Cinque Terre has managed to bottle the essence of summer in this white!

Thanks to modern technologies for production and the unique territory in which it is located, drinking a sip of Cinque Terre Bianco DOC will only take you on holiday : notes that speak of sun , summer wind and aromatic herbs .

If you close your eyes, don't you also smell the scent of the sea?

When to uncork it

This light and carefree wine goes perfectly with that moment of summer days that we like so much: the aperitif .

Two vegetable fritters , peanuts and some salatino , a glass of Cinque Terre Bianco DOC and it is immediately magic !

And if the aperitif gets longer and becomes a dinner, perhaps based on risotto alla pescatora or with grilled fish , this wine will be a further surprise .

How to drink it

To best enjoy all its nuances, pour it between 8 ° and 10 ° C.
