Tasting Notes
Aroma
On the nose scents of ripe yellow fruit (pear and peaches), with mineral and floral nuances of acacia and hawthorn.
Typical honey notes. After two to three years the mineral
notes are more intense; sometimes emphasized by the typical
scent of hydrocarbon which refines and adds complexity to
the wine.
Maturation
Ten months - in ceramic vessels, stainless steel
Ageing: Ten months - in ceramic vessels, stainless steel
tanks and large oak casks - on the fine lees, which are kept in
suspension with frequent batonnage.
Appearance
Clear, intense yellow colour with a green hue.
Palate
On the palate the wine is dry, gentle, soft and quite rich though very well balanced, without any edges. It has a long, lingering aftertaste paired with good fresh acidity.
Vinification
Hand-picked in mid-September of 2021, the
grapes were destemmed and then gently pressed. This was
followed by the alcoholic fermentation taking place mostly in
ceramic vessels and also, a smaller portion, in stainless steel
tanks and large oak casks. The wine did not undergo
malolactic fermentation.
Food Matching
Raw meat, fresh cold-cuts, warm and cold
appetizers, first courses with strong flavours and white meat
dishes. After a few years in the bottle, this wine is perfect with
seasoned cheese.
