Producer

Emotivo are classic fruit forward wines which are especially representative of regions such as Abruzzo and Sicily and classic Italian grapes like Trebbiano and Nero d’Avola.

Winemaking

The Pinot Grigio grapes are carefully selected and separated from their stalks in the winery and are then gently crushed. The fresh must is left on the skins for approximately 8 hours at a controlled temperature. 5% of Merlot grapes are added in order to achieve the special pink hue of this wine. Fermentation and maturation takes place in stainless steel tanks to ensure optimum freshness

Fun Fact

The Emotivo brand was inspired by an inscription found on a cellar wall during excavations. The round medallion is reminiscent of ancient Rome and there might have been a Roman settlement on the site long ago.

Food pairing

Perfect as a summer aperitif but is also an ideal match for spicy Asian dishes.
