Falesco Vitiano Vermentino

Appellation: Umbria IGT

Blend: Vermentino 100%

Vintage: 2015

Tasting note: In Vitiano Vermentino the variety is expressed fully with its spicy aroma on the one hand, and its finesse and its pleasantness on the other part. The wine has an acid and persistent finish, as it has to be for a wine of which the main feature is being pleasant to drink.

Cervaro della sala

Appellation: Umbria IGT

Blend: Chardonnay, Grechetto

Vintage: 2014

Tasting note: The 2014 wine has less structure and more acidity while the colour is bright. The aromas range from flint to citrus fruit with some yellow plum sensations. The mouthfeel is saline, agile, fresh and very elegant with a subtle yet very long finish.

classici-santa-cristina-umbria-bianco

Appellation: Umbria IGT

 

Blend: Grechetto, Procanico, Viognier

 

Vintage: 2017

 

Tasting note: Santa Cristina Bianco is a straw yellow in color. The nose is dominated by the intensely fruity notes of bananas and citrus fruit typical of Grechetto and Procanico, and by candied fruit, characteristic of Viognier as a variety. The palate is balanced, savory, and with a good freshness and softness along with the fruity notes which recall the aromas felt on the nose.
