About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes grow in the Losco vineyard near Fonteblanda.

Vinification

The fruit is harvested by hand in the second or third week of September. After destemming and crushing, fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature, with frequent pump-overs and rack-and-return.

Ageing

The wine rests in stainless-steel tanks until spring.

Tasting profile

Bright on the nose, with a rich flavour.

Serving and pairing

Pairs well with meat dishes and cheeses.
