‘Giallo Solare’ – the name of the color in which this bottle is clad, translates approximately to ‘Yellow Sun.’ This wine balances richness and weight against a kumquat and lime-zest acidity. Purity of fruit shows through on the palate, with pineapple and mango giving way to an enduring finish. Entirely fermented in egg-shaped concrete vessels, there is no oak character to cover up the true character of the fruit.
