Carato

“Fermentation in wood follows the style of the Templars, giving this white an echo of Burgundy. It becomes a rich white, a nose full of different perfumes, full in the body and long in the aftertaste.”

“La fermentazione in legno riporta la Vernaccia alle vinificazione degli antenati, dagli Etruschi e dai Templari. Dalle tecniche dei Templari riprende lo stile della Borgogna: un vino da formaggi, dal grande corpo e dal lungo retrogusto.”
