What kind of wine is Campania Bianco IGT 2022 - Monte di Grazia?

This white wine is an authentic expression of its territory, born from rare native grape varietals such as Ginestra, Pepella, and Bianca Tenera, cultivated on high-altitude volcanic soils. The result is a fresh, mineral, and bright wine that translates the essence of the coastal microclimate into the glass, characterized by significant temperature variations and sea breezes that enhance the aromatic complexity of the grapes.

Vintage Details

After a manual harvest and careful selection of the grape bunches, the grapes undergo a slow fermentation in stainless steel tanks, an ideal technique to maintain the aromatic expression and freshness of the wine intact.
