Salipetrj

Salipetrj

Salipetrj comes from white muscat grapes of the vineyard Romito, in the hills on the slopes of the valley of the river Irminio. It is a white, dry wine, from maceration vinification (with the skins), and represents a new way of interpreting the moscato, aromatic grape par excellence. Its intense aromas articled on a variety of flowers and ripe fruit aromas blend with the color yellow with shades of gold, but surprise because the taste is dry with a body supported by the pleasant flavor and an unusual light tannins.
