ASKOS is the name of a project of rediscovery and selection of ancient Apulian grape varieties that are almost disappearing. Wines are produced by using exclusively these indigenous varietals, cultivated in their most suitable terroirs according to the traditional method. The Greek “Askos” (=wine jar) was chosen as a symbol of the wine making, a practice that in Puglia was started by the ancient Greeks.
This wine was fermented and aged in stainless steel to retain the fresh, fruit flavours. It is a bright yellow colour with green shades. Intense fruity on the nose, with scent of tropical fruit, citrus, pear and fresh spices. On the palate it is full, well balanced with a good acidity. Fruity, mineral and mildly spicy aftertaste.
