Wine maker’s notes

This wine is a classic benchmark of the variety and its homeland. A vibrant aromatic cocktail of sea-breeze freshness and citrus fruits, peach with honeyed undertones. Bone-dry, brightly acidic with a textural mineral smokiness and a food-begging finish.

Classic white vinification. Destemming, skin contact for 6 hours at low temperature 5-6°C. Gentle pneumatic press. Fermentation temperature at 16-17°C. Conservation in stainless steel tanks. Stabilization, filtering, and bottling.

An ideal partner for fish and seafood dishes. Best served at 10-12°C.
