Insolia Viognier Carricante

IGT Terre Siciliane

Falde represents the two most suitable wine-making areas of the eastern Sicily, thanks to the perfect match of two fine native grape varieties with an international variety magnificently adapted to the Sicilian climate. Made with Insolia and Viognier grapes, coming from hilly, predominantly sandy soils, and Carricante grapes grown at high altitude on lava soils, rich in minerals, this wine has an intense fruity and floral bouquet, and a fresh, soft and aromatic taste.
