More from this Producer

Duca di SalaparutaKados

For those who would like to try a sapid, intense and long-lived wine which, however, preserves its freshness, Duca di Salaparuta offers its personal interpretation of Grillo. The floral and citrus scents of Kados, with its ample velvety taste, make this wine – produced with grapes from the Risignolo Estate – one of the most versatile Duca di Salaparuta whites.
