About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The vineyards lie around 100 m above sea level on soils dominated by white pebbles. The soil structure allows oxygen to reach the roots, which grow very deep.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness and undergo traditional fermentation.

Ageing

The wine rests in steel tanks for six months, followed by at least three months in bottle.

Tasting profile

Elegant, with ripe-berry notes and a bright, fresh, complex aroma. The palate has good acidity.

Serving and pairing

Suitable as an aperitif and with fresh or aged cheeses, assorted cured meats, Sicilian red tuna, fish soup, mullet, sushi and sashimi.
