Description
A great white wine from southern Italian grapes, able to compare with the world’s great white wines; this was the initial project. Thus, in the 1990s, the experiments began with Fiano, an ancient noble variety from Campania. This is how Cometa originated, expressing this extraordinary vine's best original and unique characteristics.
