“We don't transform the grape into wine, but we accompany it in its making, always taking a step back as not to break the harmony of the place with our intervention, but on the contrary, leave it to express itself freely, at first to the sight of those who cross over these hills, and then to the taste of those who savor it in the glass. " Alessandro Fenino.

Tasting Notes: 100% Verdicchio. Straw yellow with golden reflections, the nose has typical almond memories and vivid varietal hints ranging from hay to anise, to white fruit. It moves with agility, fusing the cool fabric with the sturdy structure. The palate is composed of a marked sapidity. Pair this wine with grilled vegetables, fish, white meats.
“Aromas of chamomile, ripe orchard fruit, chestnut honey, and hazelnut shape the nose. The aromas carry over to the medium-bodied palate along with mature yellow apple, marzipan, and citrus. It closes on a mineral note.” ~90 Points, Wine Enthusiast.
