description
Born almost by chance during a dinner with Louis Fabrice Latour who suggested to Sergio Mottura to use some of his barriques for aging in wood. The Latour a Civitella represents a historic wine that rediscovers an ancient native grape like the Grechetto and that in 2001 becomes the first white Lazio wine to receive the 3 Glasses in the Guide to Italian Wines of Slow Food and Gambero Rosso. The color is intense golden yellow with hints of melted butter and white fruit. A fresh and soft wine to combine with spicy dishes, white meats and gazpacho.
Giallo dorato intenso.
Impatto olfattivo elegante, complesso, con sentori di frutta bianca, agrumi, burro fuso e nocciola.
Vino decisamente di corpo, morbido e piacevolmente fresco con finale persistente di frutta e vaniglia.
Perfetto con zuppa di cipolle, ribollita toscana, baccalà alla livornese, oca arrosto, pollo e coniglio coi peperoni o con piatti fortemente speziati come tutti i curry o, ancora, il gazpacho.
