The first international grape variety planted by Masciarelli in Abruzzo in the areas of Bucchianico and San Martino sulla Marrucina, close to Majella, is affected by the powerful influence of sea and mountains that contribute to the full phenolic maturity of the grape. To the nose, floral scents of broom and jasmine and fruity scents of medlar. Very flavorful and almost buttery on the palate, with fleshy tropical fruit creating a real sense of texture. Significant acidity drives the long finish.
