										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>TECHNICAL DATA</strong><br />
Alcohol 42%</p>
<p><strong>TASTING NOTES</strong><br />
Clear, shimmering pale gold with bright straw-yellow highlights.<br />
Remarkably elegant nose, highly precise, and singular. It opens with prominent notes of stewed plums and rich prune paste, which gives way to sweeter, complex aroma of acacia honey, vine peaches, vanilla, and a very light touch of white oak wood.<br />
Potent, rich, and full-bodied palate with a pleasantly heavy, oily mouthfeel.</p>
<p><strong>DISTILLATION</strong><br />
‘Home-made’ continuous distillation, plum varietial by plum varietal. The mash is fermented for 6 to 7 weeks and then aged separately in oak barrels for 6 to 12 months before the final blend.</p>
<p><strong>PAIRING</strong><br />
A brilliant partner for both sweet (glazed ham or vanilla icecream) and savory dishes (pan-seared foie gras or blue cheese).</p>

The name Cielo e Terra (literally Sky and Land, or Heaven and Earth) recreates a perfect marriage, where Heaven is represented by the family of the same name and the Land is identified with the expert hands of the winegrower partners working in the vineyards that yield these wines.

Since 1908 the Family has been delivering great quality wines. This is a tribute to the founders with a new Premium and Super Premium collection, aimed to challenge the most renowned Super Venetian wines and to create new signature blends.
1908 is not only the year of the foundation but it represents also the spirit of an age of enthusiasm after the Great Depression. Innovation and creativity were bringing new light and hope in the future, on the front door of the «Belle Époque».

Bianco di Gio is a heartfelt tribute to the founder, Giovanni Cielo, who passionately crafted wines “alla moda di Venezia”. Carrying forward this vision since 1908, the family’s heritage and the expertise of the master winemakers have shaped an iconic white wine. Bianco di Gio is vibrant and full of personality, offering a harmonious balance of freshness, fruitiness, and refined flavors that capture the true spirit of Italian winemaking tradition.

					<description><![CDATA[Casa Santos Lima was created to ensure the continuous development of Santos Lima’s wine producing activity created several generations ago. This activity was first started by Joaquim Santos Lima, who, by the turn of 19th century, was already a great producer and exporter of Portuguese wines. Still a family owned company, today is present in the regions of Lisboa, Algarve, Alentejo, Vinho Verde and Douro.

This quality wine was produced from a selection of the best varieties of this region, using traditional fermentation techniques, long maceration and oak ageing period. Very aromatic with notes of ripe wild berry fruits, in the palate it is a fruity and full bodied wine with some oak notes and an agreeably pronounced acidity.

The name Cielo e Terra (literally Sky and Land, or Heaven and Earth) recreates a perfect marriage, where Heaven is represented by the family of the same name and the Land is identified with the expert hands of the winegrower partners working in the vineyards that yield these wines.

Since 1908 the Family has been delivering great quality wines. This is a tribute to the founders with a new Premium and Super Premium collection, aimed to challenge the most renowned Super Venetian wines and to create new signature blends.
1908 is not only the year of the foundation but it represents also the spirit of an age of enthusiasm after the Great Depression. Innovation and creativity were bringing new light and hope in the future, on the front door of the «Belle Époque».
