BECAUSE
Monico di Frus is a macerated white wine with a strong character and originality in which many souls converge: the shoulder of pinot bianco, the aromas and nobility of muller thurgau, the aromas of malvasia and the grit of verduzzo resulting in a signature cocktail intense, rich, complex and multifaceted.

WHEN
Merlin the magician, Nostradamus, the philosopher's stone: the Monico refers to an ancestral alchemy. That each harvest will be different. Leave the field of certainty, challenge your taste, uncork a bottle and choose how to drink it.
Dry and acidic, it is excellent as an aperitif with artisan cured meats, but it degreases fish first courses well and why not - as the English say - plain, that is, smooth!
