Vineyard Management
To obtain a perfect ripening of the grapes, beyond the normal vineyard management, we carry out summer pruning. Furthermore, the yield is kept very low in order to produce grapes rich in scents and aroma

Harvest
Beginning of September, when the grapes are very well ripe, but they still have a good level of acidity

Vinification
Soft pressing of the entire grapes, cool static clarification and fermentation at controlled temperature for Sauvignon blanc in cement vats and for Chardonnay in barrique. Then the wine matures for several months on its noble lees in stainless steel vats. The lees are frequently mixed in order to increase the thickness and the smoothness of the wine

Tasting Characteristics
Straw yellow colour; a firm aromatic bouquet with exotic notes, citrus fruit and elder-tree, wide taste and good minerality

Pairings
Ideal with pasta with clams, grilled sea bass, fried squids and wild salmon. Wonderful with asparagus recipes

Service Temperature
8-10°C

Storage
In a cool and dark place, keeping the bottle in a horizontal position. Its structure and complexity enable the wine to improve during maturation in the bottle, which can last up to 15 years, reaching the top after 10 years from the vintage

Alcoholic Grade
13,5-14% by vol. (it depends on the vintage)
