About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The vineyards lie on the hilly, well-ventilated southern side of Cori.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested between 10 and 20 September, then gently pressed and destemmed. After one day of static settling, fermentation proceeds for 10 days at 15 °C. The wine remains on its fine lees for two months and does not undergo malolactic fermentation.

Ageing

The wine matures for six months in stainless-steel tanks, followed by six months in bottle.

Tasting profile

Fresh.

Label / history

The name Castore refers to one of the mythical Dioscuri, worshipped at the ancient Temple of Castor and Pollux. The temple’s ruins are among Cori’s archaeological treasures.
