Una festa in my bocca!

This amazing smooth blend excites your mouth with hints of fruit and warm spices. We first sampled a bottle at Da Toto in Gladesville and I just had to have some more. It has become one of our favourites to serve with any meal, especially when cooking pizza in our wood fired forno.
Highly recommended.
