Over fifty years of history, experience and research have enabled our company to truly know Verdicchio, a vine of very ancient origin with an incredible ductility and qualitative power that undoubtedly makes it one of the great Italian wines. Massaccio is therefore the result of long years of experimentation aimed at discovering how to obtain an important wine rich in structure, a wine that shows the richness of the grape variety Verdicchio along with a texture and thickness above the norm
Golden yellow intense with elegant golden highlights.
Intense and persistent, very fine, reminiscent of exotic fruit, broom flower and herbs of the Mediterranean area, with final tones of bitter almond.
In the mouth it is soft and full-bodied, with excellent and tantalizing flavor, balanced and very persistent.
