This wine was created in 1992 with the intention of breaking away
from the framework of a traditional wine. At the same time, by
experimenting and taking a risk, this wine is able to give merit
to the great history of winemaking in the Marches region. To celebrate 20 years of production, in 2012 the winery launched five colorful wine labels alongside the traditional white label. This was a stylistic choice that we still continue today distinguishing the wine and satisfying the ever-increasing enthusiasm we find in the fans of Le Vaglie.

- This wine is beautifully full and well suited with rich fish dishes and shellfish, especially because of its salty character. Think of a pasta with vongole or other 'frutti di mare'. The wine also goes well with veal and veal.

- Tasting note
- Le Vaglie is very sure and will pop your glass! Bright pale yellow with a slight tinge of gold. With a rich scent of flowers, tropical fruits and fresh apple. In the beginning it is a fresh basic wine, but the wine has filling. Nice balance with fruit, fresh acidity and salty taste that make it appear pure and lively. The salty flavors linger in the aftertaste and the bitterness with almonds. The end is very pleasant.
