Fresh dry pure white wine. Brilliant deep straw yellow color with a green sheen in the fine tears. Nose of fresh hay, pear and apricot with spicy evolution during airing in the glass. Mineral attack in the richly creamy taste, laced with juicy acids and a broad aromatic final and aftertaste. Distinguished wine that calls for white North Sea fish with an exotic hue in the garnish, poultry in cream sauce, grilled seafood and matured hard cheeses. Serving temperature: 12°C
The “De Luca” brand tells a story of passion, tenacity and the desire to grow and achieve results, in a land that is both sweet and sour.
It all started in 1994 when a man, Abramo De Luca, lover and curator of good wine and of his own land "Melissese", began to make wine with the grapes of his estates, rich in native vines, including the "Gaglioppo" and the "Greco Bianco ". Vines of very remote origins linked to the landing of the Greeks in the areas of southern Italy around the eighth century BC. Together with the vines, Abramo De Luca followed historical winemaking traditions linked to the ancient method of growing "sapling" vines, a technique practiced by the ancient population of Bruzi in the third century BC.
The work undertaken by Abraham is currently led by Vincenzo De Luca.
Thanks to his strong entrepreneurial skills he is at the head of a prestigious project, aimed at transforming the family passion into an ambitious business plan, oriented towards the creation of a product of excellence, an oenological reference point for our region and a perfect combination of flavours and culture of an ancient land.
