About this wine

Vinification

Pre-fermentative oxidation of the must contributes stability and allows the wine to become more expressive with age. Fermentation takes place exclusively in wooden vats, initiated with a pied de cuve of indigenous yeasts, and lasts approximately ten days.

Ageing

The wine matures in a neutral oak barrel for approximately two years before bottling.

Label / history

Solea is part of a project devoted to white wines intended for long ageing and made through ancient European winemaking techniques. The first vintage presented is 1988.
