Lovo Colli Euganei Fiori d'Arancio 750 ML

It presents itself with great elegance and charm with precise aromas, imposing but very fine tannins and great length.\n \n Producer Information\n An enologist himself, winemaker Salvatore Lovo long worked as a consultant in other areas of Italy, including Tuscany, the Marche, and Abruzzo. Today, alongside his daughter, Silvia, Salvatore focuses on historic varietals that help to define his own region in the hills near Padua. One of these is Fior d’Arancio, verily the estate’s crown jewel. A rare clone of Moscato Giallo, Fior d’Arancio (trans. “orange blossom”), grows in a tiny zone of just a few square miles, and is famous for its stunning, citrus-driven aromatics. It’s estimated that no more than a dozen estates here work with Colli Euganei Fior d'Arancio, and Salvatore’s own family helped elevate its status to DOCG. Written records going back to the 1300s have traced Fior d’Arancio to the eastern Mediterranean, and old-timers still refer to it as Moscato Sirio (Syrian Moscato).
