“L’orso Saggio” is produced with 100% Durella grape variety, cultivated on the volcanic hill called “Faldeo”. The idea is to discover a new Durella, a fascinating and charming wine. The grape bunches are harvested by mid October in order to intensify aromas and weaken the strong acidity typical of Durella. The use of stainless steel tanks gives the chance to naturally express the fresh aromas of Durella and the volcanic soul of Gambellara. The smell is elegant, with scents of flint stone. Very powerful and sapid in the mouth, a captivating, vertical sip.
