Description

Cantina Giardino Na Vino Bianco 2021

Grape varietal & region: A blend dominated by Falanghina from Benevento, Coda di Volpe from their vineyards in Montemarano, and a touch of Greco in the mix. The fruit for this wine comes from old vineyards on the hillsides of Campania. The vines grow in volcanic soils and are tended to organically.

Taste profile: Cantina Giardino Na Vino Bianco is bright, grippy and layered. Opens with a fragrant floral and pure fruit nose. The palate is dry, structured and has just the right amount of tannin. Impressive with its pure stone fruit flavours, gentle mineral notes and clean, salty finish. A great introduction to the house style.

Winemaking process: Natural fermentation without temperature control that can continue for months. Each spent four days on skins before being pressed off. Blending before six months of rest in concrete. No filtering or additions before bottling.
