LOCHERBER Klinto 1817 Candle

Widespread especially in Veneto, the Clinto wine (or clintòn) was drunk a “Scuea” (bowl) and accompanied the frugal meal of those in the country, shared it with friends along with a good slice of salami or “sopressa” and a “ciopeta” (the typical loaf). He arrived in the old continent from America at the beginning of the nineteenth century, when the filossera, a tiny insect parasite of the vine, seriously jeopardized the viticulture of the whole of Europe. It was decided to graft the European vine on American vine roots and hybrids, resistant to the attacks of this devastating parasite. Just from the crossing of two varieties of wild American vine was born the Clinto, characterized by a deep purple color, an intense fruity scent and an unmistakable strawberry flavor. An intriguing and little known wine, interesting to discover and, above all, difficult to find, from which we have drawn inspiration for the realization of this new, exciting and seductive fragrance.
