Croatina Provincia di Pavia IGT “Ghiro Rosso d’Inverno”

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

“Ghiro Rosso d’inverno” is pure emotion. First experimented with in 1993, when barrel-aged Croatina was very rare to find, Antonella and Raimondo use only grapes from the oldest and best plots of land used for Croatina for its production.
This wonderful label is produced only in the excellent seasons, and the time in barrique varies depending on the vintage and the condition of the wood, which is never entirely new. 

“Ghiro Rosso d’inverno” needs its time to develop and cannot be rushed. In its early years it remains very closed and over-bodied. As time passes, its distinct personality comes through and over the years it evolves and softens little by little.

The color is a rich, dense ruby red.
The Croatina is perfectly recognizable on the nose, though accompanied and amplified by spicy scents.
The taste is very firm, full, as well as fruity and spicy; it has robust tannins.
At the table its decisive aromas invoke first courses dressed with unctuous and savory sauces, as well as red meat and long aged cheeses. One recommendation: to enjoy Dormouse to the fullest, open the bottle early, perhaps as early as you prepare food, to allow the wine time to breathe.

INGREDIENTS AND BENEFITS

A glass of wine a day keeps the doctor away!
It is clear that wine is not harmful to our bodies, as a substance given to us by nature in the form of fruit from which man over the centuries has managed to obtain this heavenly beverage. We can guarantee that our winemakers work by following ancient methods, supported by the aid of contemporary technologies: this is why we feel confident in saying that Italian wine, the real one, is a panacea for body and mind.

The presence of polyphenols in wine (to a lesser extent in white wines and in large quantities in reds, especially when aged) provides constant protection against cellular oxidation, the main culprit of aging and cellular deterioration.

Perhaps even more obvious and important, however, are the psychological benefits that a good glass of Italian wine can give you: the lightheartedness it gives to an evening with friends, the romance it helps to create in a couple’s dinner, the passion it is able to unleash in anyone lucky enough to taste its essences.

SHIPPING

We receive your order, prepare it and ship it in 24/36 hours.

We are aware that excellent products need excellent packaging and at the same time we cannot risk damaging in any way the precious Italian culinary jewels: for this reason our warehouse is equipped with temperature and lighting ideal for food preservation and the most delicate ones (cheeses, cold cuts and craft beers) are stored inside cold rooms. During shipping, on the other hand, each product is protected with the packaging most appropriate to its characteristics.

Cheeses and cured meats, which despite being aged require special care, travel accompanied by a special slow-release gel ice inside isothermal bags: in this way freshness is preserved until the goods arrive at your home.

For our craft beers, which are unpasteurized and therefore more sensitive to high temperatures than normal, we use special isothermal bubble wrap, which can ensure that the accumulated cold is maintained for the shipping time while protecting the bottles from shocks.

To secure the precious bottles of Italian wine, we have equipped ourselves with special inflatable bags, designed solely for the purpose of immobilizing and protecting this product inside the box.

For jars containing a thousand Italian goodnesses, we use special protective bubble wrap liners.
