Grown mainly in the foothill vineyards of Lavis and Giovo. Light ruby red in colour, the wine has an intense bouquet with hints of sweet and morello cherry, and a pleasant and characteristic lingering aroma of forest fruits. It is delicate and fruity, with dense, silky tannins that deliver a full and agreeably lasting taste. Pairs well with first hot dishes like risotto with porcini mushrooms and also roasted white meats like duck breast. Brilliantly also with green pepper beef fillet.

The Lavis wine-makers cooperative traces its origins to 1850, when the Cembran family built the initial core of the current production unit.
