Salento Fiano "MENDOLA" CONTI ZECCA

Produced with 100% Fiano grapes grown in Leverano, near Lecce, this white wine from the Apulian Conti Zecca winery owes its name to the dialectal term "mendola", almond: there was in fact the habit of cultivating almond trees among the rows to ensure a shelter for farmers on sunny days. The grapes harvested are subjected to de-stemming and soft pressing with subsequent fermentation in steel at a controlled temperature and final refinement in cement coated with food resins.
