Description
DESCRIZIONE
Bombolieri: Here the lands vary from brown to white, but the surface sand layer is much lower, only 25 cm. Just below are solid limestone rocks. A part of the district has a more clayey-limestone soil, visually white on the surface, and it is here, in the Vigna Strada, that this wine is born, floral, straightforward and with great acidity.
