This wine contains 85% of Groppello grape,
the native varietal of our region.
It's a young and fresh red wine, in
which we aim to preserve the natural
dryness and lightness of the grape
and its typical spicy bouquet. Those
characteristics, with the natural
minerality of our soils, make our
Groppello a very easy-drinkable and
pleasant wine.
