Key to the Castel del Monte area's prestige is its distinctive terroir. Set in the picturesque area of the Murge, it is an important piece of cultural heritage and a staple of the Apulian landscape. The Rivera wine estate is a synonym for the highest standard of quality in viticulture and winemaking. Thanks to the particularly favorable mesoclimate, the estate’s vineyards are able to grow popular international grapes such as Sauvignon. This variety is used to produce Terre Al Monte, a wonderfully perfumed and aromatic white wine. Incredibly dry and fresh, it is able to satisfy even the most demanding of palates.
Bright straw yellow in color with greenish reflections, this wine is dominated by intense aromas of grapefruit, hay, tropical fruit with mineral notes on the nose. Incredibly balanced and tasty, the palate has good acidity and remarkably long, persistent mineral sensations on the finish.
Excellent with sushi and sashimi or delicately spiced fish or salads. It is particularly good with grilled shellfish.
