About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from 20-year-old vines at Castelluccio in the Romagna Apennines, between Faenza and Forlì. The estate’s well-exposed vineyards grow on marl soils. The wine’s character is presented as an expression of this setting.

Grapes

100% Sauvignon Blanc.

Technical data

The 2009 vintage has 12.5% alcohol and a production of 10,000 bottles.

Tasting profile

Straw yellow with golden reflections. The restrained bouquet offers delicate floral and herbaceous notes. On the palate it is broad and almost rich in texture, with good structure, acidity and persistence.

Serving and pairing

Its breadth and structure allow it to accompany richly flavoured dishes.
