A great white wine from southern Italian grapes, able to compare with the world’s great white wines; this was the initial project. Thus began the experiments with Fiano, an ancient noble variety from Campania, in the 1990’s. And so Cometa was born, expressing the best in an original and unique way, of the characteristics of this extraordinary vine.

Between broom flowers and thyme one can trace the delicate aromas of chamomile, hay, mango and pomelo. On the palate minerality with notes of lively fruit which are thirst quenching. Then the rhythm changes to become slower and more harmonious. The finish presents a tactile silky sensation with a refined aftertaste of ripe apricots, flowering almond and basil leaves.
