You will learn about the different grape varieties, the soil, and the winemaking techniques used to produce these exceptional wines.
Targetta: Grape variety: shiny Catarratto. Bright straw yellow in colour, with hints of orange blossom, golden apple and peach, with slight mineral hints. The taste is dry, savoury and fresh.
