Discover the grape variety: Danam
Simple, fresh dry whites with a pale golden robe, a supple palate with moderate acidity, and undemonstrative aromas of citrus and white flowers. A discreet rustic profile. Preserved in a few ampelographic collections, Danam is an ancient heritage variety whose commercial cultivation has almost vanished; it is studied for its genetic and historical interest. A rare, poorly documented white grape grown in negligible quantities.
