Fascinating notes of white flower, grapefruit pith, dandelion, and fresh cilantro draw in the senses immediately, rounding into flavors of tangerine and tart green apple with bright and thirst-quenching acidity.

Grapes are crushed and soft pressed, fermentation occurs in stainless steel at a controlled temperature of 18/20°C.
Winemaker Notes
This classic wine comes from the Accadia estate vineyards on the hills of Jesi, in the Marche region, just 27 miles from the Adriatic Sea. Angelo Accadia, owner and winemaker, is an eclectic artist. The winery is a gallery where Angelo’s wines are surrounded by his paintings and sculptures.

Excellent as an apéritif. Pairs well with antipasti, pasta with white sauce, fish dishes, white meat, and vegetarian food.
