Vitigni Irpini

The color is a bright straw yellow, its aroma slightly mineral with notes of apricot, pear, peach and citrus, with excellent acidity. Overall it is a very balanced wine. Fruit tones remain in the background with a slightly bitter aftertaste, reminiscent of almonds. The limestone soil gives a distinct connotation to the wine's aromas, which combine a full-bodied structure with pleasant mineral notes and a fragrant bouquet.
