Tasting profile

Pleasant and elegant, with a composed character.

Label / history

The imaginary “Gentleman” is presented as the alter ego of winemaker Marco Bernabei. Ferro 13 uses this playful personification to convey the character of its wines. The creators paired this wine with Coldplay’s “A Sky Full of Stars” and the film Casablanca.
