About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Vermentino is grown at 600 m on sandy soils in Liguria.

Vinification

The wine is made with minimal intervention. A natural fermentation with native yeasts takes place in previously used barrels, without artificial additives or added sulfur. The must receives a short period of skin contact. Before bottling, the wine is neither filtered nor fined, and may retain the slight cloudiness typical of natural wines.

Ageing

The wine matures for eight months on its fine lees in oak barrels.

Tasting profile

Balanced and complex, with structure and texture.
