Staff Pick Notes

As the label says, the vines are ungrafted. That's means that are not modified. Most of vineyards used for wine production are made up of two different plants spliced together. I my opinion, this is is a great moderately priced everyday wine with peppery and spicy notes, smooth minerality, medium alcohol and freshness. Versatile, it could be paired with many foods.
