Kandèa F.lli Tullio Cataldo
A true delight of whites, entirely produced from our grapes of the Greco vine. Its name and its origin derive from the "Aminea Gemina", whose meaning refers to the People of the Aminei, coming from ancient Greece. Gratitude goes to this people for having imported splendid vines into our peninsula characterized by clusters that branch out twins from the same stem (gemini). This vine finds in our territory the right habitat to express wines of great minerality and freshness. Anais makes these characteristics its own, surprisingly integrating them with floral scents and delicate citrus scents of citron and grapefruit. To characterize the finish of this wine is a sapidity rich in elegance blends with sensations that recall ripe fruits!

Our vineyards are close to the Daunia mountains where the mild winds of Apulia meet the cold ones that come from Irpinia; therefore strong temperature variations are generated, to the full advantage of the perfumes and the great minerality of this vine.
