Grillo Vignaverde Contrada Samperi - De Bartoli winery
Vignaverde represents the freshest and youngest expression of Grillo, the symbolic vine of the De Bartoli winery. It takes its name from the "unexpected green" color of the grapes of the Samperi vineyard in the 2013 vintage. The cooler and less sultry climate of 2013 in fact allowed the Contrada Samperi vineyard to be extraordinarily luxuriant and verdant and to produce lively and vigorous grapes.
