Minerality is another of our main features; It makes theirr wines to gain in complexity. Freshness and fluidity are also fundamental as they approach their reds to whites wines. Whites meanwhile have a weight and a structure that brings them to the reds. Joviality, expressiveness and narrative represent LALAMA and LAPOLA seriousness, that would be the last feature to be considered, is very present for example LACIMA and LAPENA.
