Technical notes
Vinification: : the wine is vinified where the grapes are grown. After the separation of the must from the skins, the wine is refrigerated and undergoes static racking, after that the fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature (16-18 °C).
Ageing: : the wine is refined in steel for 4-5 months, and is then bottled in the spring following the harvest
Tasting notes
This is a bright straw-yellow wine with greenish highlights. It has a full, delicate, elegant bouquet which brings to mind flowers and fresh fruit – mostly lemons, lilies of the valley and green apples. Its taste is attractively young, dry, fresh and well-balanced.
Pairings
An inviting aperitif, it whets the appetite if combined with starters and fish dishes. It is perfect in summer, but there are no seasonal limitations for serving this delightful wine.
