Descrizione

Summa Anfora Catalanesca del Monte Somma IGP by Cantine Olivella embodies the authentic expression of the Catalanesca grape variety, cultivated on the volcanic slopes of Monte Somma, an integral part of the Campania region. This white wine takes shape thanks to a traditional vinification in amphora, an ancient technique that enhances the freshness and minerality typical of this unique terroir. The result is an olfactory explosion of white flowers and citrus, accompanied by notes of aromatic herbs and mineral hints that reconnect with the volcanic soil. On the palate, it reveals itself structured yet elegant, with an enveloping sip and a savory persistence that highlights its varietal character. Summa Anfora Catalanesca naturally pairs with fish dishes, shellfish, and Mediterranean appetizers, enhancing the delicacy of the pairings thanks to its vibrant freshness and balanced character. A sensory experience that celebrates the combination of tradition and innovation.
