About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

Nasco comes from old hillside vineyards rooted in calcareous soil. The grapes are picked by hand into small crates around mid-September.

Grapes

Nasco.

Vinification

The grapes are placed in an inert gentle press. After several hours of skin contact, the free-run must is separated from the skins and vinified as a white wine.

Ageing

The wine ages for six months on its fine lees in stainless-steel tanks, then passes through concrete vats before bottling.

Tasting profile

Golden yellow. The complex, enveloping bouquet combines ripe fruit, apricot, white flowers and aromatic herbs. Freshness supports a rich, harmonious structure, leading to an exceptionally long, satisfying finish.

Serving and pairing

Serve at 12–14 °C. Pair with structured pasta and first courses based on meat or seafood, young soft cheeses, blue cheeses, grilled tuna steaks, baked fish and spiced preparations.
