By day, Giulio Armani makes wine at La Stoppa, and in the afternoons, he retreats to Denavolo-- named after the mountain the vineyards are on-- to experiment and ask life's big questions. We are huge fans of his wines and feel lucky we get to share them with you! This is his entry-level orange-- a blend of short skin contact and direct press-- that's bursting with apricot, honeysuckle, and jasmine notes, and a long citrusy finish.
We love it with… 🍤🐟🍣
