Vigna del Grotto

Varietals: 
Pignoletto
Winemaker: 
Tasting Notes: 
This single-vineyard designated wine spends more time in oak barrels, giving it a characteristic complex flavor. This features the delicious and drinkable pignoletto grape, but you can expect more depth and character because of the French oak.

Pignoletto
Winemaker: 
Tasting Notes: 
A lovely, refreshing white wine with a slight sparkle -- not quite a still wine, but not quite a bubbly either. A perfect summertime drink. Pale gold, slight citrus fruit on the nose, smooth finish.

Aromas of blackberry, brown spice, and mocha. Silky, concentrated flavors of plum and earth with coconut creeping in.
