Asprinio is a unique etruscan wine. The twelve-metre tall wines rise up along with poplar trees, bringing to life the so-called «maritata». Revered by the Anjou monarchs, this fabulous wine is preserved in ancient tuff caves. It has a straw yellow color with the typical green veins. It is a wine dry to the palate, mineral and with exceptional acidity. Ideal for pairing with seafood, cold appetizer and mozzarella cheese. Serving temperature 8-10 °C.
