Roma Bianco Donna Lucilla DOC
Summary
From the volcanic hills of Monte Porzio Catone just outside Rome, Donna Lucilla Roma Bianco is a bright, stainless-steel-fermented blend of Malvasia Puntinata and Bombino grown on red volcanic soils rich in clay and minerals. Light, fresh and highly drinkable at 12% ABV, it captures the essence of the young Roma DOC with floral lift, white-fruit charm and a clean mineral edge. Ideal as an aperitivo or with seafood, risotto, light poultry, fresh cheese, Asian dishes or a classic Spaghetti alla Carbonara.
