History
Lapis Pince operates from Olaszliszka (Italian Clear), a historic Bodrog valley wine village that once housed an Italian viticulture colony in the medieval period. The village sits directly on the river with morning mists that promote autumn botrytis development; the family produces Furmint and Aszú from these fog-favoured plots.
