Tasting Notes
Intense yellow colour. In colder and rainier years greenish shades can be visible. The nose is quite intense, with a fresh bouquet, aromatic herbs and citrus scents, typical descriptors of the Minutolo grape, and in the background some scents of white peach. The two grape varieties (Greco and Minutolo) are perfectly balanced, one gives intense aroma and the other gives minerality. On the palate it is surprising because the wine has an incredible freshness and a savory finish, these characteristics are reminiscent
of some wines from the north. Incredible if you think that Erbaceo comes from the heart of Puglia.

Food Pairing
A wine able to be extremely versatile. It can be paired with medium-spiced and not too fatty dishes.
