SAN MARTINO DELLA BATTAGLIA DOC – IL FOYER
The name Il Foyer is inspired by the opera La Traviata by Giuseppe Verdi, where “foyer” denotes a place of gathering and conviviality. This concept is reflected perfectly in the San Martino della Battaglia Il Foyer, an elegant and inviting wine ideally suited for moments of sharing.
Produced from Tokai Friulano grapes, once the dominant variety in the area before the arrival of Trebbiano di Lugana and the DOC designation, Il Foyer carries a legacy of tradition and authenticity. It is fresh and aromatic, offering delicate fruit notes and pleasant savoriness, making it an ideal companion for appetizers, fish dishes, and fresh cheeses. The wine celebrates the history of the local territory and the joy of toasting together.
Organoleptic notes include a straw yellow color with greenish reflections, fruity and herbal aromas, and a savory, round, fresh taste with a slight almond aftertaste. It pairs excellently as an aperitif, with appetizers, fish, and non-aged cheeses, served best at 10-12°C.
