Massifitti IGT
Made from 100% Trebbiano di Soave. The wine ages in stainless steel for twelve months and then in bottle for twelve more. Brilliant straw yellow in color; the nose shows appealing notes of yellow peach, kiwi and lilies of the valley together with a crystalline minerality that calls to mind the unique aroma of spring rain on volcanic rock. The palate shows crisp, clean, crystal-clear flavors and freshness combined with a surprisingly creamy texture, distinctive elegance, structure and persistence.
