Toio Rosso is a wine that does not reveal itself immediately; it demands time and attention. Austere at first, it yields gradually, layer after layer, revealing an unexpected complexity. Born from a blend of Pinot Noir and Cabernet Franc, this medium-bodied red with a full flavor combines the fruity elegance of Pinot Noir with the spiciness and slightly herbaceous note of Cabernet Franc. A wine that is a slow and fascinating journey into the heart of the Treviso Prealps. High-altitude grapes, 9 days of maceration using only free-run must, spontaneous fermentation, and no filtration.

Tasting Notes
- Appearance: Bright ruby red color with garnet reflections, clear and luminous.
- Nose: The olfactory profile is elegant and layered. Notes of small red fruits (raspberry, currant, wild strawberry) emerge, along with dried flowers (violet, dog rose), and a spicy background of black pepper and cloves inherited from the Cabernet Franc. The slightly herbaceous note recalls undergrowth and aromatic herbs, without ever being intrusive. A bouquet that opens gradually with finesse and depth.
- Palate: The entry is austere and measured, but the wine opens up immediately after, revealing a medium body with a full and enveloping flavor. The tannic texture is silky and well-integrated, supported by a lively freshness that balances the structure. The finish is long and persistent, with fruity and spicy echoes and a mineral closure of great elegance. A red that yields gradually, layer after layer, offering unexpected complexity.
Recommended Pairings
Perfect with grilled red meats, roast pork and lamb, feathered game, and aged hard cheeses. Also excellent with dishes based on porcini mushrooms and truffles, and with more structured traditional Venetian cuisine. A wine that deserves large glasses and a slow tasting to capture all its nuances.
Why choose it
Because it is a red of character and depth, far from easy and immediate wines. Because it combines the elegance of Pinot Noir with the spicy structure of Cabernet Franc, creating a unique balance. It is for those who love wines that give themselves gradually, that ask for time and attention, and reward you with infinite complexity. A wine that is a slow and profound dialogue between the maker and the drinker.
