Produced only in the best years with grapes harvested in the vineyard of the same name, one of the oldest and best exposed in the locality of San Castrese at the foot of the extinct volcano of Roccamonfina. Intense straw yellow color with golden reflections, characteristic aroma of lemon flowers, apple, banana, pineapple, eucalyptus and pine needles. Sapidity and minerality compete to give their olfactory contribution. With a full, velvety and persistent flavour, it is undoubtedly an elegant wine with character to be tried not only on the typical seafood cuisine but also in more structured dishes.
