Leone Blend

The epitome of aromatic freshness of white grapes cultivated in the high hills, up to 900 meters of altitude: mostly Catarratto, blended with Pinot Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Traminer and Moscato to give the wine structure, aromaticity and acidity. A true “Lion”, a symbol of the family’s history.
