Description

Antea Origins ofAnfosso estateit's aWhite wineunique, because it is produced in a single variety from a rare example of historic white berried grapes ofLigurian territoryof the extreme west, so rare that we cannot tell you

(In reality it is a "table wine" and for this reason, according to the competent Authorities, I cannot reveal to you precisely which grape it is)

But what I can tell you is that it is a vine that, likePigatoAndVermentino, best translates the Ligurian territory through the glass: a wine with iodized, brackish aromas but which, especially at the sip, knows how to be the protagonist.

An ancient white wine - colored, a little macerated - that traces the historical white wine made inDolceacquabefore the 70s, but with the technique and wealth of today. In short, a "precise" and "mouth-watering" wine.
