Territory and wine style

The Sorrento Peninsula DOC designation refers to a vocated area of Campania, where the coastal landscape and the influence of winds contribute to defining characterful wines. In the case of Poizzo Bianco, the name itself evokes a typical land breeze from the canyons of the Lattari Mountains, an element that well narrates the connection between climate and the wine's identity. The grapes come from vineyards located about 300 meters above sea level, on sandy loam soils with the presence of pumice and lapilli, a foundation that favors finesse and gustatory tension. The low-temperature steel vinification supports freshness and preserves the aromatic component of the grape variety.
