Salina Bianco IGT
60% Inzolia and 40% Catarratto. Hauner Salina Bianco IGT is a brilliant straw yellow with deep golden reflections. The elegant nose is reminiscent of strawberries, sage, exotic fruit and citrus confirmed on a crisp, appealing palate.
“At Hauner we believe that, given the amazing soils, unique landscapes, and fantastic grapes of the Aeolian Islands, we are honor-bound to create wines worthy of such fruit.”
