A smaller bowl also helps to serve smaller quantities, and keep the wine cold.
Remember to hold the glass by the stem!
Fior d'Arancio is a DOCG from Colli Euganei (Euganean Hills), near Padova in Veneto region.
The name means orange blossom because the grape's flavor reminds of the citrus-scented flower of an orange.
The grape is a special clone of Muscat called Moscato Giallo (yellow) that has a unique expression in the volcanic soils of Colli Euganei.
45 million years ago Abano Terme area was covered by the sea and the volcanic activity pushed the soil up forming "Colli Euganei" hills.
Today the terroir is rich of fossils and volcanic minerals.
Veneto is famous for its capital Venezia, and the wines Prosecco, Soave, and Amarone.
