About this wine

Grapes

A Ligurian clone of Vermentino, given in the source as Pegato, is used.

Vinification

The grapes are picked by hand. Spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts takes place in old wooden barrels. The wine undergoes maceration and remains on its fine lees for eight months.

Ageing

Ageing in oak barrels contributes texture and structure. Several further months in bottle bring balance and elegance.

Tasting profile

The nose combines white flowers, fruit and honey with subtle spice. The palate has distinct saline minerality, a creamy texture, depth and structure. The wine is vibrant, clean, complex and elegant.
