About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes come from the company's own vineyards in Umbria, along the Tiber River, on clay and sandy soils. A weather monitoring system installed in the vineyards helps prevent disease and significantly reduces the amount of chemicals used.

Grapes

Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Grechetto and other white grape varieties.

Vinification

Harvest takes place in September. The grapes are gently pressed, followed by a short cryomaceration. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats at 14 °C. The wine is ready to drink as early as November, about 2 months after harvest.

Ageing

A short time in steel tanks and in bottle.

Tasting profile

Fresh, easy-drinking, young, simple and pleasant, with a refreshing taste.

Serving and pairing

Suited to any time of year, especially summer.

Label / history

The label shows a compass rose taken from an old captain's logbook. The nautical theme and the refreshing taste evoke a sea breeze, a brezza.
