Cocciuto IGT Fontuccia IGT, Tasting notes:
Intense amber, golden reflections. Intense aromas of yellow and white fruit supported by floral notes. Pleasantly emerging is that iodized minerality that recalls the purity of fresh sea air. A barely noticeable tannic texture and great elegance, an unattainable white in terms of energy, complexity and charm.
Cocciuto because this wine is the result of their stubbornness in combining past and future passion and innovation. The Ansonica from our vineyards, burnt by the sun and buffeted by the winds, vinified in amphora with long maceration on the skins – about 6 months – during which the terracotta allows constant micro-oxygenation, preserving the most authentic aromas.
