Valentine’s Day: our pairings chocolate & Francone wines!

Valentine’s Day is the perfect occasion to indulge in a moment of pleasure to share.
To celebrate this occasion, in Francone Winery, we have created a selection of pairings between our wines and chocolate, in order to highlight the characteristics of each label.

Chocolate, like wine, requires balance: for this reason, we have chosen classic yet refined varieties, capable of matching the glass without overpowering it, creating harmony between structure, freshness, sweetness, and aromatic complexity.
