| Commentary: |
Pallagrello Bianco is an extremely rare white native grape saved from extinction by a handful of willing producers in the late 90’s: the total current production of Pallagrello Bianco is as low as 60,000 bottles. Selvanova Pallagrello is crisp and mineral with lots of wild herbs and fresh almonds notes |
