Description
A special selection of Torre di Giano from the Vigna Il Pino cru. It was one of the first Italian white wines that aged in wood, back in the 1970s, before the recent trends. Its characteristic is the discreet presence of wood, which merely supports the structure of the wine, making it particularly pleasant to pair with food.
