Bolgheri Borgeri Bianco

The Alter Ego to our Giorgio Meletti Cavallari's Borgeri Rosso. The Bianco clearly expresses the fresh and direct vision of Bolgheri terroir though its white grapes. The presence of Vermentino and Viognier in equal measure leads to an intense and persistent perfume of freshs fruit and flowers. The name 'Borgeri' comes from the old name of Bolgheri, found by Giorgio Meletti Cavallari himself in his parents house on a geographical map drawn by Leonardo Da Vinci back in 1435. A part of this drawing is is used for the label of the Borgeri Bianco.
