Contrada Contro Marche IGT Bianco
From old, ungrafted vines planted high on the slopes of the Monti Sibillini, Contrada Contro delivers precision and depth. On the nose: citrus peel, white flower, and fresh herbs. On the palate: a taut mineral core, lively acidity, and a subtle texture from fine lees aging. It’s a pure expression of mountain terroir, with freshness and the promise of age.
