Sitta Ancestros
“Ancestros: Their wisdom is our legacy.
Ancestros is a tribute to our ancestors and, more specifically, to our grandfather. A person with a lot of tenacity, paused and patient who taught us that everything comes in due time and that in life you must learn how to wait. Tenacity to cultivate the best vineyard. Patience to await the arrival of what we desire for five years. “Simmered” white wine that requests to devote the necessary time for its full enjoyment after such a prolonged ageing. A white wine full of complexity and nuances with added delicacy and elegance. It accompanies white meats, game birds and seafood stews.
