About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Sauvignon Blanc grows in vineyards in the Spiazzi area, at 800 metres above sea level.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand in the first half of October. They are destemmed and gently pressed, then given a brief cold maceration on the skins. Fermentation uses selected yeasts at 15–16 °C.

Ageing

The wine rests for three months on the lees.

Tasting profile

Elegant.

Serving and pairing

Suited to seafood, saltwater fish (especially braised tuna), lean meats, poultry and asparagus.
