Sémillon

<p>A careful blend of sauvignon blanc and sémillon, typical Bordeaux grapes, for a white that takes its name from the first owners of the Castle and whose label bears a drawing of the Chapel of San Giovanni located on the property. A wine, born with the 1997 harvest, which has always been vinified and left to mature only in steel tanks in order to accentuate its sapidity and freshness, without losing sight of the roundness typical of sémillon.
