Ameztoi Txakoli White Wine: The Crisp and Saline Essence of the Basque Coast
The Ameztoi Txakoli 750ml White Wine is one of Spain's most refreshing and characteristic liquid treasures. Crafted by the legendary family at Bodegas Ameztoi, this white wine is the standard-bearer of Getaria (D.O. Getariako Txakolina), in the Basque Country. Vinified with the native Hondarribi Zuri grape, Ameztoi preserves its iconic natural "spritz," a very fine residual bubble from fermentation.
