Description
This wine perfectly communicates the land from which it comes. In the Canavese region more types of grapes are raised in the same vineyard ever since so respecting the tradition, we make our Canavese Rosso named “Palere” with Barbera (60%), freisa (20%) and Bonarda (20%) grapes. Its color is a beautiful ruby red, it’s hot bodied and has good acidity. We would recommend it for convivial occasions. It is perfect as an everyday wine.
