Penisola Sorrentina Lettere

Lettere is a blend of Piedirosso, Aglianico and Sciascinoso grapes grown at 400 MASL.  The vineyards face the volcano Vesuvio and the Gulf of Naples, where the soil is rich in volcanic ash and the sea ​​breeze gives a unique flavor to the wine. The result is a great intensity of color, an exuberant and evanescent foam, with aromatic concentration of violet and wildflowers. On the palate, it is savory, lively, soft and fruity.
