Nispoli – Cabernet Sauvignon PGI Apulia
Cabernet Sauvignon is the most famous grape variety in the world because it is capable of adapting to the most varied climates by making its terroir of origin its own. Nispoli is our expression of Cabernet in an Apulian way, with its usual aromatic power to the nose and the elegance of taste conferred by our unrepeatable climate and careful cellar choices.
