Ziller 47 is wine dedicated to Michele Sala, the father of the winery, who was born in 1947. Ziller 47 a white unfortified wine, taking inspiration from the pre-British local versions, in which the addition of alcohol was not yet the standard, and the aging process could take many years in casks, especially thanks to the high natural alcohol content of this type of traditional wines.
