Castellaro Estates White Porticello 2021

Bianco Porticello 2021 Tenute di Castellaro

A dry white, straw-yellow in color with bright green hues, it comes from the combination of the vibrancy of Carricante and the aromaticity of Moscato Bianco and Malvasia delle Lipari. The aroma is herbaceous and the fruity notes , with hints of apple, make it fresh and balanced.

Pure saltiness: dedicated to one of Lipari’s best-known beaches, Bianco Porticello is the wine that restores to the eyes and palate the suggestions of saltiness shimmering on sea-washed skin in the light of the sun’s reflections.

Direct pressing of grapes in pneumatic press and no clarification of must.
