MS Hamburg wines on board: red wine and white wine from exclusive bottling from the Weingut gorgo
"The wine press is managed by the owner himself, who has been advised by an oenologist he trusts for almost thirty years now.
The cultivation process at the winery is closely linked to local traditions. Only organic fertilizers are used and the soil is kept clean by milling, especially in the young vine plantations. The harvest is practically carried out by hand and therefore usually lasts 30-45 days, so that in some special locations the grapes have the opportunity to fully ripen until the grapes from which Moscato Rosé is made are "overripe".
For many years, the best guarantor of first-class service and catering has been our partner, the Ligabue Group ligabue group
