Effervescent Red / *Rare Grape

Grape variety: Malvasia. di Schierano, Malvasia Nera Lunga

Description: Gilli is a slightly effervescent sweet red wine with low alcohol content (5.5%) made from one of the most appealing aromatic red grapes of the world, the Malvasia di Schierano. It is characterized by an unusual marriage of freshness and aromatic complexity. Wild red berry fruit is evident on the nose, along with fascinating hints of blossoms, particularly wisteria and iris. Served well chilled (6-8°C), it is ideal with different types of desserts as well as with fresh fruit and petits fours.

From its inception in 1983, Cascina Gilli has dedicated their care and attention to the indigenous grape varieties of their region. They have always felt the role of custodians in respect of this special variety. In their words: ‘Over the years we have made enormous progress in understanding this precious grape and it seems that it has not yet finished surprising us.’
