A wine named after the sanctuary adjacent to the vineyard, on the Zoppega hill.
Delicate yet rich, with aromas of yellow-fleshed fruit, floral nuances, and mineral notes. Full-bodied, it envelops the palate with a rounded finish and a fresh, savory texture.
Perfect with fish soups, white meats, and mushrooms. Excellent with veal with tuna sauce.
