The wine of the World Cup
Faces, the official wine licensed for the 2014 FIFA World Cup™, was developed by Lidio Carraro boutique winery, located in Vale dos Vinhedos in Bento Gonçalves (RS). The red wine has 11 varieties of grapes from different producing regions of Rio Grande do Sul, in honor of the 11 players on the field. Faces white wine celebrates the winemaking roots by choosing the three white grapes most grown in Rio Grande do Sul: Moscato, Chardonnay and Riesling Italico. Resulting from a blend of three grapes – Pinot Noir, Merlot and Touriga Nacional – Faces rose is a seductive wine that displays a pink salmon color.
