Description: The history of Fondo Antico and Polizzotti-Scuderi family has its roots farming since the 1800’s. The family heritage combined with deep knowledge of the terroir led the winery to be what it is today. The vineyards of Fondo Antico are planted on a land of marine origin: The soil rich in calcareous deposit like rock salt and gypsum are elements that contribute to the wines character. Aromas of lime zest and Italian parsley opens upfront. The palate reveals a crisp, round texture without being too bright. Undertones of Anjou pear and a touch of salinity. This is an excellent food wine that will pair perfectly with Mediterranean cuisine and all types of fish.
Food Pairings: Seafood, raw bar, ceviche, veggies, white meats, fried foods, etc.
