About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes grow directly below the Ligurian Apennines. The vineyards occupy mid-slope sites at 200–300 m above sea level, on sandy soils containing a high proportion of sandy marl.

Vinification

After harvest, the grapes are pressed and fermented at a controlled temperature of 20 °C.

Ageing

The wine matures in steel tanks for 6–8 months and is bottled in the spring following the harvest.

Tasting profile

Young and fresh, with an appealing aroma and a well-balanced palate.

Serving and pairing

Suitable as an aperitif and with appetizers, vegetable dishes and fish.
