Capolemole Bianco
Uncategorized
Bellone is a native grape variety that has always been cultivated in the delightful and lush Corese countryside. The soft skin of the varietal contains a hearty pulp, thick as the cyclopean walls that protected the ancient city of Cori. This flesh yields a gentle, perfumed aromatic that is refined yet rustic.
