Dietro le Case 2006
@ Go Wine

Dietro le Case is more and more appreciated, and we are happy to read a nice review on the latest issue of Go...wine.

"From a small vineyard planted during the seventies on a calcareous soil, which was recovered in order to preserve the typical site's clones (grafting new rootstocks wth the scions taken from the old vines), the Barberas' winery produces a white wine which embodies the unique character and personality of the Inzolia grapes, rich in minerals and sea salt.
Only 4.000 bottles, which have been soon sold out, to remark that the southwestern coast of Sicily is a great territory for the production of elegant and delicate white wines, where acidity and subtle minerality are the perfect complement for complexity and charme."
