Terre Gaie, Fior d’Arancio D.O.C.
(FEE-or dah-RAHN-choh)

 

Tasting Notes: From the heart of Veneto comes one of the rare gems of the wine world–a tickling sparkler, reminiscent of a Moscato d’Asti, but with extraordinary natural flavors of orange imbued from the soils of the Colli Euganei. Lightly sweet, it is both an aperitif and dessert wine, a celebratory quaff or a summer sipper. Only from one small area of the world, in its original, locally favored bottle, this is a special opportunity to experience a truly unique wine.
