Agamium
By Antichi Vigneti di Cantalupo, Alto Piemonte, Piemonte, Italy
Agamium began in 1976, when Cantalupo's production was limited to a single wine, Ghemme; it offers an easier-drinking wine that still carries the organoleptic richness of the terroir and its Nebbiolo grape. The name is the Latin name for Ghemme, a wine area known since Roman and even Celtic times.
Tasting notes
