Wine Description

Enimgatic, eccentric, and unexpected, Bianco di Morgante is a white wine vinified entirely from Nero d'Avola, Sicily's most noble red grape. The grapes for this wine are pressed gently and matured in stainless steel tanks to retain their fresh aromas.

Acclaim
The 2015 Bianco di Morgante is Nero d'Avola made off the skins as a white wine. The wine's appearance is almost totally transparent and void of color. The bouquet opens to light tones of peach and citrus. It is heavily defined by drying mineral tones as well. The mouthfeel is thin, lean and crisp. Some 30,000 bottles were made.
