ANTICELLO DEL SOTTOSCALA Grechetto IGT Umbria 2021 Certified Organic 12.5% alc
CERTIFIED ORGANIC
“Anticello” is the name of the word (location) where the ancient monastery and vineyard are located. The "Sottoscala" is a room in the old cellar where my grandfather hid the most precious products away from prying eyes. In the same room we put the most precious bottles to refine otherwise we would have already drunk them! Grechetto is a white wine with great aging potential.
