Morella Old Vines 2016
The winery's philosophy is to preserve the uniqueness of the old bush vines, recognising the value of these absolutely concentrated grapes. The White Label Series are individual wines made from the best vineyards, the oldest and most characteristic.

A new addition to the White Label series, La Signora, is an expression of style and elegance and the same time representative of the typicality of the Primitivo.
