“Glu Glu” is the sound made by the Turkey that decided to swim... while instead it can only drown... an allegory of those who believe they are more than they are! A wine with a delicate soul born from the blending of grapes from the vineyards closest to the river: an old vineyard with 2 different types of ancient Trebbiano and a young vineyard of Trebbiano Spoletino. A magical wine (with no added sulfur) that disappears in moments once the bottle is opened.

Organoleptic description: pale straw yellow color, hazy due to the presence of live yeasts inside the bottle, delicate fruity aromas of passion fruit, lime, lychee, and floral notes of wildflowers (chamomile), bread crust, and minerals. Delicate, mineral, and fresh taste, with fine and subtle bubbles that disappear after a few minutes in the glass.
