ZAMATHI, which means “gold” in the ancient Etruscan language, is made from the vinification of Vermentino grapes and is born from the passion and care devoted to land at Farnese, in the beautiful setting of the Tuscia Viterbese.
ZAMATHI draws all its strength and minerality from the volcanic, tuff-based soils, rich in stones, with a south-east exposure, and benefits from the breeze off the Tyrrhenian Sea, visible from the hills where the vineyard grows.
All of this gives the wine intense aromas with floral and fragrant notes, good sapidity, freshness and balance.
