Details and technical informations about Winery Ophicus's Selección Especial.
Discover the grape variety: Codivarta
Simple, fresh dry whites with a pale golden colour, a supple palate and preserved acidity, showing undemonstrative aromas of white flowers, citrus (lemon) and herbal notes. Very niche, rustic profile. Preserved in a few ampelographic collections, it belongs to ancient varieties of heritage value whose commercial distribution has almost disappeared. Rare, little-documented white variety grown in tiny quantities, studied for its genetic and historical interest.
