A wine named after the volcanic hill at the summit of which the Capitel Foscarino vineyard is located.
Aromatic with hints of banana, jasmine, chamomile, and mineral notes. Fresh and savory, with a hint of lime.
The perfect pairing is with asparagus, especially the local white variety, but it's excellent with all seasonal vegetable-based first courses, grilled fish, and shellfish.
