DESCRIPTION

A bright yellow with greenish reflections, typical of Vermentino, with a delicious fruity and floral aroma that is appreciated in the nose and intensified in the palate. Pleasant dry taste with an intense and persistent aftertaste.

VINEYARD

espalier vine technique, average density of 5,000 plants/ha.

WINE TECHNIQUE

The grapes are carefully selected and are then pressed. The mass is pressed after a short period of cold maceration in order to extract the maximum amount of aromas and then transferred to a soft press to obtain top quality must. The must is transferred to temperature-controlled containers to start alcohol fermentation which takes place at a temperature of 16°- 18°C for roughly 10 days. After various filtrations, the wine is bottled and refined for one month.
