SEASON 2021

A cool spring with little rainfall, preceded by a mild winter, led to early and vigorous sprouting. The abundant rainfall in July restored the vegetative development of the plant, avoiding an unfavorable early harvest. Long periods, with high day/night temperature swings, favored a perfect phenolic ripening of the grapes, predicting one of the best vintages in terms of aromatic freshness and minerality. This climate during the harvest proved to be particularly favourable.

HARVEST

20th SEPTEMBER TO 21st SEPTEMBER

VINIFICATION

For this wine, the harvest of this wine is done strictly by hand. The grapes are placed in special boxes for drying which takes place in the loft for about 30 days, this allows to obtain a natural decrease of about 35% of the initial weight. The grapes then follow the classic white vinification with crusher-destemming and soft pressing. The “mosto fiore” obtained ferments at a controlled temperature with selected yeasts for 35 days. The wine then rests in stainless steel for about a year, completing with an aging in the bottle.

SENSORY ANALYSIS

Deep gold color with amber highlight. On the nose it expresses a large bouquet of exotic fruit, acacia honey and chamomile. The taste is sweet, lively and with great structure, with excellent tannins deriving from the drying process.

FOOD PAIRINGS

Best served with aged cheese and dry pastry.
