Description
A wine that celebrates the union between the Mediterranean and the World, telling the story of Ludovico and the Mediterranean dream. It does it like only a great wine can do, thanks to the union between Catarratto, emblem of Sicilian white wines, and Chardonnay, among the most well-known and cultivated varietals in the world. White like the Cretto, white like peace, white like beauty. White like the hat that Ludovico used to wear, white like purity.
