The philosophy of Poggio le Volpi is to increase the value of the ampelographic richness of its territory, enhancing it with its wines. Barcaccia comes from vineyards cultivated with grapes like Malvasia, Bombino and other white varieties.
Bombino is one of the oldest one present in Italy, widely bred for the quality of its fruit, which has found a very favorable habitat in central Italy, giving excellent results in Lazio.
Barcaccia is a mineral and fresh wine, of great balance and versatility, made even richer and more complex by fermentation and aging in tonneaux on its own yeasts.
