From the winery: "Delicate light rosé colour with faint purplish hues. A fruity bouquet suggestive of strawberries, cherries and ethereal floral notes is revealed on the nose, while the palate carries a good aromaticity and a mineral, persistent and well-balanced character. It's the perfect complement to cured meat appetizers, fresh cheeses, fish ragù pasta and grilled white meats."
* What’s in a name? In the case of the Barbanera family’s winery they chose to pay respect to a great legend whose descendant became a close friend of Luigi Barbanera (father of Marco and Paolo who now run the estate). The original Duca di Saragnano came from Campania but fled north to Tuscany, around the 10th Century, as foreign invaders took over much of southern Italy. The Duca di Saragnano was remembered as “amongst the bravest and noblest local defenders” of the Italian land, who “fought valiantly” against the aggressors. Centuries later the inheritor of the title ‘Duca di Saragnano’ met the Barbanera family, who had started out in 1938 with home-produced olive oil, cheeses, cured meat and wine, and granted the use of the prestigious name as “a token of his esteem”.
