Drinks and Wine List

Dolcetto, Nero d’Avola, Barbera

White

Maniman: a characteristic word from the local dialect, meaning “you never know”. It expresses the character of this city and its people. This wine is a blend of grapes selected by Andrea Bruzzone who, at every harvest, manages to assemble them to achieve the right balance—giving the wine the distinctive feature of pairing with many regional dishes, not only. A classic wine for everyday drinking.

White

Bianchetta is the classic Ligurian grape variety, especially from the Genovese area. Its key feature is its pronounced citrus-like acidity, which pairs well with fish dishes, in particular blue fish. Since ancient times it has been appreciated at breakfast as the main drink paired with focaccia—one of the great traditions of our grandparents.

White

Born from a blend of Albarola, Vermentino and Bosco grapes grown facing East on the Morego hills, among quartz stones and easily crumbling slate, this Coronata Bianco is produced with fruity and mineral notes—green apple and orange blossom. This wine is slender, savoury, and has a slight bitter base, obtained through a gentle pressing to extract only the richest part of the berry. It rests on fine lees to broaden the aromatic notes.

White

Yellow with greenish highlights, this Mediterranean wine shows a herbal component that links it to the Ligurian territory, in particular the Genovese area. Savoury and ideal with fish and vegetables dishes or savoury pies. Designed to be enjoyed young, but it doesn’t mind a bit of ageing.

White

Pigato is born in Ranzo, its ideal terroir in the Arroscia Valley: winds, altitude, and clayey soils. The wine ages for 4 months on fine lees to preserve its immediacy. Floral and fresh, with notes of yellow peach; on the palate it is dry with a slight almond aftertaste.

Red

A pleasant red wine that wraps you up and wins you over with its agreeableness and great drinkability. It has an intense ruby-red colour, a wine-like bouquet, and a persistent flavour with distinct aromas of small forest fruits. Medium-bodied aromas: dry and fresh, with limited persistence.

Red

Three grape varieties to complete this wine: ciliegiolo, dolcetto and barbera, all grown entirely in Valpolcevera. The label name comes from the three varieties used and the three towns where these typical vineyards are found. With an intense ruby-red colour, aromas of small forest fruits, the taste is dry and fresh with a slight tannic vein.

Sparkling

For these wines, local grape varieties were used, giving them a strong liveliness. It’s recommended to drink it within the first year from its birth to keep the freshness intact. A young, fragrant white wine.

Sparkling

In the sparkling-wine process, Andrea Bruzzone has recreated what winemakers in the past did when preparing sparkling wine for the New Year celebrations in the first months of the year. Must was still fermenting, placed in a heavy bottle, then sealed right away with a cork and tied with twine. A Made in Liguria sparkling wine from Zena.
