Fiano Salento Segreto di Bianca

Wines

Masseria Cuturi’s Camilla Rossi Chauvenet is known as a pioneer of innovative organic viticulture and dedicated this wine to Bianca Schiavoni, who along with husband Don Tommaso, planted the first Primitivo in Manduria in 1881. Countess Schiavoni’s ‘secret’ was the enjoyment of the simple life and solitude away from the hustle and bustle of the city – and the delight of a simple fresh wine to aid doing so.

Fresh, Mediterranean-inspired white from the sunlit coast of southern Puglia. Bright notes of white peach, pear, citrus blossom, and Meyer lemon are lifted by crisp acidity and a subtle saline minerality that reflects the nearby sea.
