Technical notes
The hand-picked grapes are partly pressed and partly destemmed. The destemmed grapes remain 12 hours in contact with their skins at a temperature of 5° in order to carry out a cryomaceration useful for the enhancement of aromas and to increase the sensation of pulp. A very gentle pressing allows only the flower must to be extracted from the berries, which is left to decant cold, separating it from its skins. Finally, upon reaching 18°, fermentation is started, which will be s topped when the alcohol content reaches 5.5 degrees. The resulting wine will remain on its fine lees in aging for at least 10 months in order to obtain a wine capable of withstanding the test of time.
Tasting notes
The typical characteristics of the grape variety are expressed in the glass already from the color, a beautiful straw yellow with golden hues, but above all with an explosion of aromas that recall with great intensity the scent of the grape from which the wine originates. In particular, hints of ripe pear, white peach, honey, robinia flowers, lime and orange, sage and lemon emerge. In the mouth, density appears the predominant element and infuses a feeling of fullness that balances the acidic freshness and residual petillant from fermentation. Of very long persistence, it distinctly calls to mind the light and warmth of the freshly harvested bunch of ripe Muscat.
Pairings
It stands out for its elegance in accompanying a wide range of flavors: excellent with aged or blue cheeses, ideal with foie gras for a highly refined pairing. It is exalted alongside glazed meats or sweet-and-sour preparations, as well as with caramelized and fried vegetables, where it enhances its complexity. Of course, it also finds its perfect place at the end of a meal, harmoniously pairing with desserts, enhancing every nuance with balance and persistence.
