Tasting Notes
"Malvasia dominant with Trebbiano at around 400 m. Very old ungrafted vines complanted.Wonderfully rich and alluring on the nose. Juicy and easy – and well balanced – on the palate with some (attractive) notes of polish. A really amazing wine! Hugely distinctive." 18/20, Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com A rare style of white wine, bringing back some of the traditions from the past. Grapes are Malvasia, Trebbiano, Maceratino and Verdicchio. This extremely unique and ancient style of winemaking makes for supremely characterful white wine, extremely gastronomic.
