White Wines
Balistreri white wines are made completely natural. They are fermented in “red style”, on the skins of the grapes which attributes to the rich, deep colors and flavors. Our white wines are also unfiltered, unfined, and not cold stabilized. Because of this natural process, you may find a harmless haze or sediment in the wine. Enjoy!
