Technical notes
Vinification: after soft crushing, the must is immediately separated from
the skins and refrigerated, followed by static clarification. The fermentation is then carried out at a controlled temperature (18-20 °C).
Ageing: in stainless steel tanks for 4-5 months. It is bottled before the
summer, after cold stabilization
Tasting notes
The carefully-performed wine-making process brings out the best in this
bright straw-yellow coloured wine. When young, its full, rich bouquet is
flowery and intensely fruity, lingering on the nose, while with the passing of
time it develops the classical overtones of honey, acacia and exotic fruit. It
has a full, well-balanced taste, with good body and persistence.
Pairings
Served chilled it is a great aperitif. But it is also ideal with fish-based
hors-d’oeuvres, light starters, risottos and pasta dishes.
