This wine represents Tasca tradition. The lion, in fact, is the symbol of the winery and this product really represents its philosophy. It comes from the local Catarratto, balanced by Pinot Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc and Traminer. A particular wine characterized by different expressions, from sourness to aromaticity, from structure to freshness. 48% Catarratto, 23% Pinot Blanc, 22% Sauvignon Blanc and 7% Traminer, cultivated on hills with an elevation that swings between 500 and 900 meters on the sea level. This wine represents the freshness gained from the height of its vineyards. The important thermal excursion generates a good sourness and a great balance. A lion, symbol of the company, for a wine that astonishes for its aromatic intensity and for its pleasant freshness.
