ABOUT THIS WINE
The Scarpa Monferrato Bianco 2019 is a white wine from the Monferrato DOC in Piedmont, Italy, exclusively crafted from 100% Timorasso grapes. Scarpa, a winery established in 1854, upholds a winemaking philosophy rooted in tradition and a deep respect for its terroir. The grapes are sourced from the 'I Bricchi' estate, situated at high altitudes between 350 and over 400 meters above sea level, on soils predominantly composed of clay. This unique combination of grape variety, high-altitude vineyard, and traditional winemaking practices sets this wine apart.
