Tessari’s golden straw coloured Grisela is the backbone of the vineyard; a delicious entry level wine that is meant to be enjoyed on any occasion. Melba toast, elderflower and chamomile aromatics fill the glass with a notable mineral quality. The taste of crushed seashells dance on your tongue with a fun duo of stone fruit and citrus. The finish is refreshing with balanced acidity.

While the vineyards that form Punset have been farmed by the Marcarino family for generations, it is truly thanks to Marina and her incredible energy that the estate is how it is nowadays. Her passion for the soil and the environment led her to embrace biodynamics and the agronomic philosophy of Manasobu Fukuoka. From one of the healthiest vineyards in Italy, Marina crafts wines that brim with life, energy, and pure terroir.

The colour is dark ruby and the wine shows good structure, acidity and medium body with a distinct earthiness.

Fresh & Zesty

The Vitas Winery has been in the family since 1937, for four generations. Despite its French origin, Pinot Grigio has been cultivated in Friuli since the 18th century, where it has found an ideal habitat to produce wines of exceptional quality.

This dry-farmed Friulian Pinot Grigio is different in style than its counterpart from Veneto. The wine wears a straw yellow robe with elegant copper-gold overtones. Its bouquet is elegant and intense, with hints of acacia flowers, dry hay, walnut kernel, yellow peach and golden apple, intertwined with fresh and mineral notes. It promises a concentrated palate full of fragrant white peaches, tangerines, and a lively minerality. 

A perfect casual sipper, or to complement antipasti, fried fish or vegetables and light pasta dishes.

Established back in 1865, the estate continues to be run by the same family who have acted as the faithful custodians of the land for generations. Tending to high altitude vineyards on the north side of the active volcano, the conditions are ideal for indigenous grape varieties to thrive. The wines are distinctive bottlings which encapsulate the essence of Mount Etna and effortlessly reveal the unique characteristics that make the region one to watch.

The wine has enticing floral scents of spring blossoms and Spanish broom that mingle with summer orchard fruit and wet stone. The tangy, savoury palate boasts finesse and mineral tension, delivering juicy Meyer lemon, creamy pear, yellow apple and saline before a white pepper finish. Fresh acidity brightens the rich flavours.

This is perfect with young and medium-aged cheeses, poultry and fish. 

Fresh & Mineral - The Pinot Grigio Killer

Wines from Soave are made with the local grape Garganega. Cantina Tessari has its vineyards in the volcanic hills above il Castello di Soave, which is the original - or 'Classico' - wine growing area in Soave, the best vines are located here. 

Bine Longhe—named after the “long rows” (longhe) of vines in the Costalta vineyard—derives its character from grapes grown on 300-meter rows and harvested late in autumn, reflected in the label’s warm colors. Selected grapes are left to over-ripen for 20 days before being hand-picked, de-stemmed, and gently pressed into must. Fermentation occurs at a controlled 16–18°C in steel tanks over about 12 months, with extended lees contact and batonnage to enhance natural antioxidants like glutathione. Afterward, the wine rests in the bottle for at least another year, allowing full integration of its components and minimizing the need for added sulfites.

Bine Longhe is an intense, brilliant straw-yellow wine made from late-harvested grapes left to over-ripen for about 20 days in the vineyard. It offers refined herbaceous and balsamic aromas with floral and fruity notes, while its full, mineral flavor is enveloping and persistent, ending with a hint of bitter almond. Though Soave is naturally delicate, the vibrant acidity of Bine Longhe lends it versatility, pairing beautifully with complex dishes such as fish, white meats, sausages, aged cheeses, and even rich recipes like salmon, Bolognese lasagna, chicken curry, pumpkin risotto, or bigoli with sardines.
