CASTEL TURMHOF
GRAUVERNATSCH 2007
Südtirol/Alto Adige - DOC
Description:
This wine once again proves the great potential of the Vernatsch variety. Bright ruby-red in color, it shows fine fruit aromas as well as vinous flavors of marzipan and light bitter almond. With light tannins and pleasant freshness, this well-balanced wine is uncomplicated and easy-drinking.
Serving suggestion:
Pairs well with all sorts of meat and fish, but makes an especially good accompaniment to sausage or South Tyrolean speck, as well as braised or grilled white meats.
