reviews)

This white wine derives from the vines “Vujnu”, “Durraca” and “Pecorello” blended during the vinification with “Trebbiano Toscano”. These vines are all exclusively cultivated in the vineyard of Boccafolle and allow the making of a wine of pale-yellow color, whose scents evoke the Riesling wines of the high valley of the river Reno.

The wine is characterized by significant acidity, light color with slight green tones and recognizable scents of alyssum, fresh fruit, quince and pear.
