Riesling with bubbles! Lashings of acid carry notes of green apple, apricot and lemon zinging across the palate in an effervescent buzz. A touch of texture lengthens the wine, adding personality to the mix and making for a fun and fizzy drop. A vino to match Aries' excitable, fast-paced nature.
High-acid whites salivate, flooding the palate with tensioned, high-energy fruit notes. The fizz of the petitillant naturel style amps up the thirst-quenching factor and promotes that party vibe Aries are known for.

2021 PROTERO Nebbiolo
Notes of fresh raspberry, plum jam and umami-rich dashi and miso create a complex profile, finishing with bright citrus and floral tones. A full body and firm tannic structure guarantee an assertive wine, with burgeoning aromatics that beg for attention. This vino matches the Arian ego; bold, self-confident and over-zealous.
Tannin equals drive and this Nebbiolo has pulsating, directional energy like Aries. Fiery, generous and fruit-forward, the wine’s dynamic nature initiates a journey of discovery. For full appreciation, decant for an hour to unleash its full character.

2021 MANDI Sangiovese
Raspberry, black cherry and tomato leaf, rounded out with a little liquorice and vanilla. Spicy vibes, dried fruit notes and a smattering of herbs. Some rustic, tannic drive - very directional, determined and dry. Savoury, but sexy. Fresh and spicy Sangio for the fire child.
