Discover the grape variety: Datal
Simple, fresh dry whites with a pale golden robe, a supple palate with moderate acidity on undemonstrative citrus and white flower aromas. Discreet rustic profile. Preserved in a few ampelographic collections, it belongs to the ancient varieties with patrimonial value whose commercial diffusion has virtually disappeared and which are studied for their genetic and historical interest. Rare and poorly documented white variety, grown in confidential quantities.
