Nose
Citrus aromas of pink grapefruit which combine floral and spicy hints.
Palate
On the palate it is fresh and savoury, with
a good body with an herbaceous and spicy aftertaste or finish.
Growing Conditions
Vineyards altitude 350/400 above s.l with a South/South East exposition. the vines of 22 years have their roots in a soil rich in clay, with a presence of limestone.
Harvest
Manual Harvest at the beginning of September. The grapes are carefully selected directly in the
vineyard. The white I.M. grapes are harvested in the morning at dawn, to be pressed at low temperatures.
Winemaking
The non-stemmed grapes are pressed, very gently, in the presence of dry ice, to minimize the oxidation of the must during draining; they are subsequently transferred to a steel tank, subjected to the presence of an inert gas, at a controlled temperature, and they undergo a preferential cryomaceration at a temperature of 6 °c for 72 hours. Subsequently, after a light
clarification, the alcoholic fermentation is carefully cared for, maintaining a temperature ranging from 14°-16°c, so as to preserve the primary aromas. At the end of the alcoholic fermentation period, the wine is slightly sulphited and de-stemmed; shortly before bottling, which usually takes place in the
month of March following the harvest, the wine will be decanted again in order to clarify it.
Appearance
Straw yellow colour with greenish reflections.
Food Pairing
To be accompanied with fresh fish and soft cheeses.
