About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
Selected Vernaccia di San Gimignano and Chardonnay are hand-picked from the estate vineyards at Casale in San Gimignano. A small proportion of other white grapes completes the blend. The area's minerality contributes to the finished wine's character.
Vinification
The grapes undergo white vinification and gentle pressing. The first fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats. After a short period in French oak barrels, the components are blended and bottled. A second natural fermentation then occurs in bottle with selected yeasts, following the traditional method.
Ageing
The wine remains in contact with the lees for at least 24 months and undergoes continual remuage in the estate cellars. Disgorgement is carried out every six months to preserve freshness.
