He follows similar philosophy in the cellar, limiting interventions on musts and wines, avoiding industrial yeasts, clarifications and stabilizations, preferring longer agings both for whites and red wines, aiming to bring territoriality, complexity and elegance in the glass.\n\nConnect:\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/stroppolatini.winery\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/stroppolatini.winery/\nBooking: https://www.booking.com/reviews/it/hotel/casali-del-picchio.it.html\nWebsite: https://www.stroppolatini.it/\n\n_______________________________\nLet's keep in touch!
