WINES OF NORTHERN ITALY
SANTA MARGHERITA PINOT GRIGIO | WHITE
BOLLA PINOT GRIGIO | WHITE Brightness in its colour, refinement in its vinification: a smooth modern but espe - cially typical taste. Its perfume is striking with its important nose and lingering fruity notes. The attractiveness of its smooth tannins close harmoniously in the mouth. MANITOBA LIQUOR MARTS (VARIOUS LOCATIONS)
MASI COSTASERA AMARONE DELLA VALPOLICELLA CLASSICO | RED The appassimento technique is used, whereby Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara are laid out on bamboo racks to concentrate their aromas during the winter months. Rich, powerful bouquet with aromas of baked fruit, cooked with herbs and spices. Cherry fruit preserve and cinnamon are the major components in a long-lasting and attractive finish.

This dry white wine has a straw yellow colour. Its clean, intense aroma and bone-dry taste (with an appealing flavour of Golden Delicious apples) make Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio a wine of great
personality and versatility. MANITOBA LIQUOR MARTS (VARIOUS LOCATIONS)
Northern Italy offers striking contrasts and a temperate climate that shifts quickly from the cool, high Alpine peaks to the milder lowlands and coastal plains. Winters in the mountains are long and snowy, but they give way to fresh, pleasant summers that sustain dense forests and clear glacier-fed lakes. As the land slopes down into the Po Valley, the air grows warmer and more humid, creating ideal conditions for agriculture. This region is home to Italy’s most productive farmland and to celebrated wine areas such as Veneto and Friuli. The scenery is just as varied — rugged mountains, rolling hills lined with vineyards, calm lakes like Como and Garda, and wide, fertile plains shaped by the Po River. These landscapes have strongly influenced local life and traditions. Northern Italy’s culture blends hardworking modern cities with deep-rooted customs, from regional cuisine and artisan crafts to festivals and architecture that reflect a lasting sense of history and identity.
