A blend of three native grapes. It has refreshing lemon and green apple notes, some minerally sensations and a little breadiness. On the palate, it's refreshing, citric and savoury with lots of bright acidity.Ā
This wine is from the northwest part of Lazio, near the border with Umbria. Legend has it that a bishop traveling to Rome would send a scout ahead ofĀ time to establish which inns were offering theĀ best wines and he'd mark them with the wordĀ "Est" (which translates toĀ āit isā in Latin). When he reachedĀ Montefiascone, the wine was so excellent there that the scout notedĀ āEst! Est!! Est!!!ā on the local innās front door, and so this wine is a nod to this story.Ā
