VRANEC VERITAS
Veritas is premium wine obtained from the local cultivar Vranec. It is produced with reduced yield of the vines. The removal of entire clusters leads to a significant concentration of the taste of the grapes which remains for harvest. It is rich with polyphenols (antioxidants), colored substances and specific aromatic compounds. Dark-ruby, strong color, corpulent, full bodied wine rich in extract. Wine with great potential for aging. Natural cure for cardiovascular diseases.
It is ideally served at 15-17оC with roast pork, prosciutto, venison, fatty cheese, lamb and veal.
