About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The old vines grow in Marche, on Italy’s eastern coast. Adriatic Sea breezes influence the grapes, while the gravelly soils impart a mineral character.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested in the second half of August to preserve freshness and natural acidity. Brief skin contact is followed by fermentation at a controlled temperature, retaining a crisp character and precise aromas.

Ageing

The wine rests for four months in stainless steel tanks.

Tasting profile

Soft golden highlights appear in the glass. The wine is elegant, with precise aromas, a crisp character, fine acidity and a clean, clear taste.

Serving and pairing

Pair with oysters, fish tartare, seafood pasta or the local olive all’Ascolana. Its acidity complements fish and lightens creamy sauces.

Label / history

The name “Aurato” derives from the Latin auratus, meaning “golden,” reflected in the wine’s soft golden highlights.
