Discover the grape variety: Gold
Simple, dry whites with a pale golden robe, a supple palate with moderate acidity, and undemonstrative aromas of citrus and white flowers. Discreet, rustic profile. Preserved in a few ampelographic collections, among the ancient grapes of heritage value whose commercial diffusion has virtually disappeared and which are studied for their genetic interest. Rare, poorly documented white grape grown in confidential quantities.
