Produced in small quantities, Nektar comes from Vermentino grapes grown on slopes sheltered by the mountains and near the sea. The bunches, selected and harvested by hand, and subsequently dried in airy environments, give a harmonious and elegant wine with an intense golden yellow color. A passito that represents our nectar, the name itself celebrates the Nektar: mythical drink of the gods, which Ganimende poured, and Hebe offered to the gods of Olympus.
