When Guido Marsella planted the vineyard and founded his winery in 1995 he concentrated solely on Fiano grapes. He farms the grapes organically and the wines are fermented and aged entirely in stainless steel containers. The modest estate sits in the Partenio Regional Park at an altitude of 600 meters (about 1968 feet). This white wine is both vibrant and elegant, with juicy fruit and a generous, expressive finish. Aromas suggesting white peaches, fresh citrus, and tropical fruits are part of the charm. The palate is broad, with bright acidity and layers of wet stone and tropical fruits all leading to a long finish.
