Valeria Hinna Danesi

Valeria Hinna Danesi was aware of the nature of her passion early on. She therefore decided
to start training to become a sommelier. The experience that she was able to acquire at the
side of master chefs profoundly shaped her development. She is happiest when she can
contribute her personal style to her work and arouse all the senses of her guests.

Red Delicious x Moscato Rosa

How is it possible to pamper your senses with a veritable feast of flavours? With this unique pairing of the sweet Red Delicious apple and fruity Moscato Rosa. The dessert wine features a diverse palette of aromas with notes of rose, cloves, cinnamon and orange peel that perfectly complements the green flavours of the apple.

Fuji x Lagrein

Red temptation – a perfect description of the combination of the fruity Fuji apple and the full-bodied Lagrein. The pomegranate red wine with fine notes of ripe cherry and red berry harmonises perfectly with apple’s spicy, fruity flavour palette.

Golden Delicious x Pinot Bianco

A true taste sensation: the juicy, aromatically sweet notes of the Golden Delicious and the refreshing aromas of white fruit and Alpine herbs of the Pinot Bianco are optimal complements. The apple leaves a fine acidity on the palate that is balanced by the wine’s concentrated minerality.

Royal Gala x Lagrein Rosé

This combination is all about fruity notes. The delicious Royal Gala apple charms with its flavours of pear and apricot, and the berry-like flavour of Lagrein Rosé is the perfect complement.

Granny Smith x Sylvaner

What makes these components the perfect companions? The high-acidity Granny Smith apple finds a balanced counterpart in the fresh aromas of the Sylvaner wine. The wine features notes of citrus fruits, herbs and minerals that create a distinctive flavour experience in conjunction with the green aromas of the apple.

Valeria’s favourite apple

The exquisite Fuji apple is Valeria’s clear favourite. After all, its fruity aroma of pear and vanilla and sweet flavour instantly inspired the wine sommelier. The spicy notes and unique combination of crunchy yet juicy firmness also helped the Fuji become Valeria’s favourite apple.
