Sensory Description
The wine greets with a translucent ruby hue and unfolds on the nose with delicate floral aromas—rose and violet—interlaced with red berry notes and a whisper of Mediterranean herbaceousness. The palate is elegant and softly textured, with gentle tannins, vivid acidity, and refreshing sapidity, evoking coastal rosemary and fine minerality. The finish is both warm and poised, offering subtle complexity and a lingering, savory presence.

Winemaker’s Background
Danila Pisano, an organic pioneer in Liguria, reclaimed her family estate in 1990 to revive ancestral vineyards and olive groves. Certified organic since 1996, Pisano is devoted to traditional, low-intervention viticulture. Her terraced vineyards—perched at mid-altitude and trained in alberello style—reflect a deep respect for terroir and gendered craftsmanship. As a female winegrower working in a delicate appellation, her work underscores heritage, dedication, and singular regional character.

Serving Suggestions
Best enjoyed gently chilled to about 59–60 °F (around 15 °C) to emphasize its aromatic clarity and fresh acidity. Ideal with Ligurian fare—salt-crusted fish, charcuterie, medium-aged cheeses, or simply grilled rabbit and herb-infused poultry. A distinctive and expressive choice for lovers of terroir-driven, elegant reds—it’s an enchanting wine for both convivial meals and contemplative tasting sessions.
