Istrione Pignoletto Doc 2017

Despite the fact that tradition attributes the primacy of this version to the area of the Colli Bolognesi – from which derives the so-named Denomination of Controlled and Guaranteed Origin – it is increasingly possible to find excellent examples even in Romagna, thanks to a growing attention to the pursuit of high standards of production, from the plant to the cellar.

The extraordinary potential demonstrated by the Pignoletto grapes (grechetto gentile) produced by our vines, has inspired the team of winemakers at the head of the Santerno Wines project to challenge themselves in this endeavour to elevate to the highest degree the characteristics of a truly extraordinary grape.

The result is Istrione, fragrant and intriguing, excellent pairing for dishes based on fish (cod with olives and capers, sea bream, lobster) and risotto; thanks to its remarkable freshness it lends itself well also to tasty Italian appetisers.
