Tasting Notes & Pairing Ideas

- Excellent with pastas with savory sauces, grilled or roasted meats and with aged cheeses.
Winery Profile
- The warmth of the sunny and stony plains of Trentino flows through La Vigne’s wines. Marco Spagnolli, master vine grower and winemaker, cares for the earth and cultivates the vines to preserve in his wines the flavors and bouquets of this splendid Italian region.
- The vineyards are mainly found in the municipality of Isera and consist of vines that are between 15 and 35 years old. The Cabernet Sauvignon vines cover 1 hectare of vineyards, mostly planted with the Guyot system, and enjoy a southern-eastern exposure at 200 meters above sea level, thriving in this calcareous, sandy soil.
- Nature must be respected, with its rhythms and its seasons, and treated with patience and skills: La Vigne wines are the perfect example of how the fruit of the earth can be transformed in superior products of the art of drinking.
