Tasting Notes
Aroma
Intense aromas of ripe yellow
fruit (peach, apricot), floral notes (rose petals, acacia
flowers) and ginger.
Appearance
Bright straw-yellow color with slightly
shimmering hints of gold.
Palate
Sweet and delicate on the palate,
with modest acidity, good balance and complexity. Hints
of fresh apricot on the finish.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested by hand in and
around late August/early September. The vinification
begins with a gentle pressing of the grapes and natural
cold decanting. The must is stored at a very low
temperature in stainless-steel tanks to avoid spontaneous
fermentation. Throughout the year, individual portions of
the must are put in an autoclave at a temperature of
12-14 degrees to initiate alcoholic fermentation. When a
percentage of around 5.5% alcohol by volume is reached,
the temperature is quickly reduced to stop the
fermentation. The wine, which is only partially fermented,
is then filtered. The wine does not undergo malolactic
fermentation and is bottled using sterile filtration, to
maintain its natural freshness, aromas and fine bubbles.
Region Notes
The grapes are sourced from small vineyards in
Castiglione Tinella, with 4,500 plants per hectare. The
vines, cultivated with the Guyot-system have an average
age of 40 years. Limestone- and clay-rich soil.
