According to the self-marketing understanding of their producers, the Pinello is of a “matt straw yellow” color with a fruity-floral fragrance and fruity taste, light and slightly acidic (dry). Its alcohol content is between 10 and 11 percent. Because of its sparkling freshness, local winemakers recommend it as a summer aperitif wine, with antipasti and light dishes, especially with fish and white meat, to be served at a temperature of around 10 ° C.
