Crafted by Colomba Bianca, the island's pioneering organic wine producer and largest grower cooperative, this wine embodies a true sense of place and tradition. Grown sustainably in the chalky, porous soils between the hills of Vita and Salemi, the vines thrive at an altitude of 330 metres above sea level, benefiting from the ideal Mediterranean climate and respect for environmental biodiversity.
