Farnese Edizione Bianco NV

The wines from Abruzzo became famous worldwide in the XVI century, thanks to Princess Margaret of Austria and Farnese has made sure it has kept its high reputation throughout the years. Margaret of Austria and her husband Prince Farnese began producing wines of very high quality that were drunk at feasts all over Europe. Farnese has carried on this tradition with a highly advanced, complete and flawless programme of production and marketing.

This wine is a blend of Pecorino, Fiano and Grillo. The grapes are hand-harvested when they are perfectly ripe and are vinified separately.  While the Pecorino ferments in unroasted barrels the Fiano and Grillo are fermented in stainless steel.  On the nose, complex notes of tropical and citrus fruit.  The palate is herbaceous and rich with tropical fruit.  A wonderful white with a persistent finish.
