Tasting notes
Clear and brilliant straw yellow hue with elegant greenish highlights. The bouquet expresses delicate yet perceptible floral notes of white broom, hawthorn, and jasmine, intertwined with fruity notes of white peach, melon, and citrus. On the palate, it is an explosion of freshness and flavor, leading to a dry citrus finish that leaves a long, mellow aftertaste.
Food pairings
An ideal wine for enhancing the freshness of lightly structured first courses based on fish or shellfish, as well as cooked and raw seafood appetizers.

Their flagship Primitivo Gioia del Colle DOC has earned international recognition, including the prestigious Tre Bicchieri award from Gambero Rosso.
