La Fea Bianco

Local legend has it that in the middle of the 19th century a noble woman of vast culture and exotic beauty (an unusual combination at the time?) resided in the area. She lived in her castle surrounded by books and teachers.

Her taste for literature, the arts, mathematics, philosophy and science kept her away from the activities other nobles engaged in. Learning to embroider or preparing to get married and be a mother were not in her plans. She preferred to ride horses, collect leaves for her botanical collections, or study the classics.

At odds with the canons of the time there soon began rumours and gossip, and a nickname that would accompany her all her life – La Fea; an endearing, teasing, slang use of the meaning ugly or bad.

A lively blend with light maceration. Aromas of apple and pineapple backed by floral notes; the palate is smooth, light, with a pleasing, crisp harmony.

Ideal with all kinds of fish, seafood and vegetables, as well as cheeses, pasta and poultry.
