Characteristics
Vitis Alba is made exclusively from historical grapes of Tuchì. It is a niche wine that comes from the smallest DOC in Italy, “San Martino della Battaglia”, located on the hills south of Lake Garda. The look is striking for its straw yellow colour tending to bright light golden. The nose is dominated by notes of wildflowers with hints of chamomile, thyme and vegetal notes. In the mouth it is fresh, mineral, pleasantly savory. The finish is persistent with an aftertaste reminiscent of almond.

It is perfect as an aperitif, with fish appetizers and first courses.
