Description
Cavabianca' is a unique product from the historic Terrecarsiche winery, a white wine that is part of the 'Cru' line of special wines as it is produced in vineyards that have unique characteristics due to their position, exposure, soil and history. A white wine produced at an altitude of 450 m in Valle d'Itria, from a careful blend of Bianco d'Alessano, Fiano and Chardonnay. What makes it special is the phase after bottling, as it is 'kept' at a depth of 70 metres in the dark in the marvellous underground environment of the Caverna della Fonte di Castellana Grotte at a constant temperature of 15° and humidity just above 90%. A limited production for a wine with a return to its origins.
