Rich tree tops and long bent branches, an elongated fruit, melancholic and sophisticated Pendolino looks like a hypersensitive poet, entangled in romantic dreaming and nostalgia for his home-bound Toscane. However, it just appears as though he has perfectly melted into the Istrian climate. The proof is his wonderfully green oil and beautifully balanced flavour, moderately bitter and spicy. Although he appears melancholic, in his soul he's a hedonist who loves to mingle with game, beef steak, ribeye steak and semi-mature cheeses.
