Technical notes
Vinification: fementation in stainless steel vats for 7-8 days at a temperature of 28-30 °C, followed by the malolactic fermentation.
Ageing: a short stay in steel precedes bottling, which is carried out in the spring following the harvest. The wine is released after a few months of ageing in the bottle.
Pairings
A fine match for hot starters, pasta, vegetables and not overly-elaborate meat dishes.
