Bianco d'Alessano - IGP Valle d'Itria

Grape variety: Bianco d'Alessano. This white grape variety of uncertain origin has found its maximum expression in Puglia, specifically in the territory of the Itria Valley where its arid and elevated soils with good sun exposure allow the production of a fresh, delicate and fruity wine.
