History and Winemaking
“Leucos” is a white wine from Moscato grapes that, unlike classic Apulian Moscato wines, is not sweet (residual sugar around 9 g/l), but very close to dry aromatic whites. It represents one of the few white wines traditionally produced in Puglia. Vinification takes place in white, in temperature-controlled stainless steel.
