The grapes come from a small plot of high hills in the Montefusco area. The cool, tuffaceous soils characterize a wine with great structure, complexity and distinct minerality. The low yield per vine gives rise to a fresh ,elegant white wine with notes of apricot jam, yellow peach and cinnamon. The bouquet after a few years becomes more complex, developing pleasant notes of ginger and elderflower.
