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!

Aglianico, brought to Italy by the Greeks as early as the 6th century aC , takes its name from the "Vitis Hellenica", whose qualities are repeatedly sung in the odes of Horace and in the writings of masters consigned to history such as Pliny and Virgil. The high complexity and deep structure of Aglianico, grown directly in the company's vineyards, give Altavilla an extraordinary aptitude for aging in the bottle.

Lord of the Daunia in the land of Puglia, the Uva di Troia vine ties its origins to the myth of Diomedes. Legend has it that the mythical Greek hero, after the Trojan War, sailed across the Adriatic Sea up to the Ofanto River which also flows through our lands. Here, having found the ideal place, he planted some vine shoots brought with him from Troy. Cherrug, respecting the greatness of this vine, comes from a careful selection of these grapes only from the best vintages! After aging for over 10 months, it is left to age in 10/20 hl barrels for about 2 years before being refined in the bottle for a further 6 months. Cherrug involves for its power and elegance, with its intense and refined aromas with hints of licorice, black cherry and ripe black fruits. On the palate it is dry, soft and enveloping. Extraordinarily rich and very long-lived, it becomes even more refined and elegant over the years.

Aragona comes from a careful selection of Aglianico grapes, with a gradual harvest where the knowledge and expertise of the winemaker is combined with the technique of the winemaker to let you taste a unique product. It is aged for one year in French and American oak barriques and completes its aging in the bottle. Its extraordinary richness and elegance reaches its peak already within the first seven years, retaining its characteristics for many years afterwards.

Lord of the whites in the Dauno Subappennino, this inimitable white is entirely produced from our grapes of the Fiano vine, from the Latin "Vitis Apiane"; a name that, going back through the centuries, can be found in the "Naturalis Historia" of the noble Pliny: "... the bees gave the surname of Apiana to this magnificent grape, due to their greed in sucking the grapes!"

Lord of the Daunia in the land of Puglia, the Uva di Troia vine ties its origins to the myth of Diomedes. Legend has it that the mythical Greek hero, after the Trojan War, sailed across the Adriatic Sea up to the Ofanto River which also flows through our lands. Here, having found the ideal place, he planted some vine shoots brought with him from Troy. Lanario is a subtle balance of fruity notes, spices, sweets, with an intriguing goudron in the the final. Seductive for its class and aromatic intensity, it is quite soft for the component tannins present but not impetuous and annoying, savory and quite fresh. wine of great elegance, where structure and acidity support each other, it becomes even more refined and elegant with the passing of the years.

The grape variety chosen for the spumante base of Bolla d'Oro is the "Bombino Bianco". Its ancient origins probably date back to the challenge of Barletta and the Spaniards. It prefers deep, draining soils and is certainly one of the most interesting grapes for sparkling wine. Bolla D'oro is born from the application of the long charmat method, with a fermentation period of no less than 40 days sur lie which gives an absolutely unique and original roundness and fullness to the tasting (texture), enhanced by a fine and persistent perlage. Vin de fete, with a great personality and an intriguing bouquet in which notes of apricot and white peach predominate with white flowers (blossom) and dried fruit intruding on the finish.

A dry white of great class, entirely produced from our grapes of the Falanghina vine: its origin is lost in the mists of time; the etymology derives from “falanga”, the pole that acted as a guardian to the vine. 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.

Its softness and appreciable acidity make it possible to create excellent pairings with all pasta-based first courses and rich side dishes. Its good structure and low quantity of tannins also make it suitable for fish-based preparations, especially richly seasoned and flavored roasted fish. Delicious for aperitifs.
