La Zerba Costante il Campione

Organic unfiltered white from 100% Cortese, fermented spontaneously in second-passage barriques and tonneaux, part of the In Fuga line.

Tasting notes

Fresh and intense, with a woody note that stays discreet and balances the surprising freshness. Hints of green tea, ginger and jasmine. Long, savoury and tasty on the palate.
