Obtained from the best Greco Bianco, a thousand-year-old Calabrian vine, grown close to the Ionian Sea. A tribute to our wonderful sea of Cirò
Deep straw yellow color. Fine and delicate nose of exotic fruit and citrus. Soft, persistent and savory taste. Very structured wine that is best expressed after 1-2 years of bottle aging.
From this ancient vine dear to the Popes, which was cultivated in Italy as early as 200 BC with the name of Apicia, Apicius or Apianae - according to Colummella and the other Georgics, a sweet wine with a Moscato flavor was obtained.
The taste is full and soft, with very delicate olfactory sensations ranging from floral to spicy accompanied by a honeyed hint.
Strong straw yellow color, typical floral and ripe yellow fruit aroma; dry, velvety flavor, great volume and intensity. 50% in steel with inert gas protection; the remaining 50% in barrique with racking at the end of the bâtonnage. At the bottling, the two parts come together.
From Pecorello grapes, an ancient native Calabrian vine to be rediscovered and valorised. For us, Ippolito is proud of passionate research.
