Piè del Monte – Veneto IGP White Wine
Features
ORIGIN OF THE NAME
The grapes of this wine ripen at the foot of our hills we commonly call “Monti”. Initially, the IGT white was made up of mixed grapes, they did not pay attention to the different varieties, just a good wine for the farmer’s meal. Our white IGP is a blend of Garganega and Moscato bianco, two grapes which represent our Veneto and its territory
