Biancopiglio Rock
€ 26,00
Biancopiglio, free spirti that wanders our volcano, inspires Emilio and Emanuele in the making of this wine with a very large personality. Produced with Carricante, Cataratto e Grecanico dorato grapes, this wine, more “Rock” than DOC, is made with full respect for nature, our traditions and our territory.
