Vigigneto Riveselle comes from a south-facing vineyard on the slopes above the Piovene’s historic villa. The Tocai grapes are fermented in stainless steel to maintain their fresh fruit flavors in the wine. The end result is an excellent picnic red wine for the waning days of summer and autumn.

Tasting Notes:

A ruby red wine with well-defined floral, cherry, and black pepper fragrances. This easy-drinking, light to medium bodied red explodes in the mouth with lively strawberry, blueberry, cherry and herb flavors. The delicate thirst-quenching finish will make you reach to pour yourself another glass. Can be enjoyed slightly chilled. Enjoy now to 2010 with cold cuts, cheese, pasta, roast chicken, salmon and Baccalà alla Vicentina, Vicenza-style salt cod!
