1. Cantina Crovara – Nessun Dorma, Cinque Terre Doc

This wine is produced by Alessandro Crovara, proud wine producer of Manarola in a super special edition! No more than 300 bottles (and we have already drunk some ;)

HOW IT IS: Bosco, Vermentino and Albarola grapes, hand made selected. A second fermentation makes the wine more smooth and pleasant in your palate with an intense ripe peach flavour in your nose. This wine is good now but it improves in years.

Last year we have happily partnered with the Cantina 5Terre and the result has been this wine.
