About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

Carignano comes from own-rooted vineyards trained as bush vines on sandy soil. The Terrae range focuses on individual sites and selected parcels whose distinct soils shape the wines.

Grapes

Carignano.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand into small crates between the final ten days of August and early September. They enter an inerted soft press; after brief skin contact, the free-run must is separated from the skins and vinified as a white wine.

Ageing

The wine spends six months on its fine lees.

Tasting profile

Pale pink. The delicate, pure and precise nose combines red-fruit notes with the mineral character of the territory. The palate is fresh, elegant and highly approachable, with a long, silky finish.

Serving and pairing

Serve at 10–12 °C. Pair with oysters, raw fish, caviar, bluefin tuna tartare or wood pigeon.
